EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era, circa 1870. The image features a fashionable couple, elegantly dressed for a grand social event. The woman, adorned in a polonaise dress with voluminous pagoda sleeves, adds a touch of drama to the scene. Her coils of false hair cascade down her back, framing her face, while a tiny hat, tilted forwards, completes her ensemble. The man, dressed in light-colored trousers and a waistcoat, complements his partner's elegance with a striped cravat and a short jacket with bound edges. The polonaise, a popular style during the Victorian era, was characterized by its full skirt and fitted bodice, often adorned with elaborate sleeves. The pagoda sleeves, with their tiered layers, added a sense of grandeur and sophistication to the dress. The false hair, a common accessory for women during this period, was used to enhance the volume and fullness of their hairstyles. The man's attire, while less extravagant than his partner's, was still fashionable for the time. The short jacket, with its bound edges, added a touch of refinement to his outfit. The striped cravat, a staple accessory for men during the Victorian era, completed his look. This photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Merrick, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Victorian society, where elegance and style reigned supreme.
