Mrs. Samuel May, Costumier: A Victorian Era Master of Royal Fashion, 1883 This advertisement from 1883 introduces us to Mrs. Samuel May, a renowned costumier based in Bow Street, London, who held the esteemed position of being the Royal Family's personal costumier. Her exceptional talent in creating exquisite costumes for the monarchy during the Victorian era is showcased in this advertisement. The image features an elegant woman, believed to be Mrs. May herself, standing in front of an ornate, gilded mirror. She is dressed in a stunning Victorian gown, complete with a high collar, intricate lace detailing, and a voluminous skirt. Her regal attire underscores her status as a purveyor of high fashion to the most powerful family in the land. The text accompanying the image reads, "Mrs. Samuel May, Costumier, Bow Street, London." The simplicity of the design, with its elegant typography and muted color palette, perfectly complements the refined aesthetic of the Victorian era. This advertisement offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion during the late 1800s. Mrs. May's appointment as the costumier to the Royal Family speaks to her exceptional skill and reputation, making her an essential figure in the fashion industry of her time. The intricately designed costumes she created for the monarchy were not only symbols of their power and wealth but also embodied the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian era.
