1860 Babington Baron Dresses Fashions Macaulay News Trio 1860s January
EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from The Illustrated London News, dated 7th January 1860, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing both historical figures and fashion trends of the time. The prominent figure in this illustration is Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), a renowned historian and critic, who is engrossed in reading a book. Macaulay's intellectual pursuits contrast sharply with the three elegantly dressed women in the background, who represent the latest Parisian fashions of 1860. The women's outfits are a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era. The first woman wears a voluminous, high-waisted gown with a tight bodice and full, bell-shaped skirt. Her dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and is accessorized with a matching shawl and a wide-brimmed hat. The second woman dons a simpler, yet equally stylish, dress with a fitted bodice and a full, A-line skirt. Her outfit is accentuated by a delicate lace collar and a small bonnet. The third woman, who is standing in the foreground, wears a fashionable trio, consisting of a jacket, skirt, and bodice, all in the same fabric. Her outfit is accessorized with a matching hat and a pair of gloves. The illustration also features a French baron, who is admiring the women's fashions with great interest. The Parisian influence on fashion during this period was immense, and the Illustrated London News was at the forefront of documenting and disseminating these trends to its readership. This page from the 7th January 1860 issue provides an intriguing snapshot of the intersection between history, fashion, and society during the 1860s.
