EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in the year 1881 by an unknown photographer and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past of fashionable women's outdoor attire during the Victorian era. The image features two elegantly dressed women enjoying a leisurely stroll along the seaside. The women's outfits are quintessential of the 1880s, with their voluminous walking dresses, bustles, and high-buttoned collars. The first woman wears a white, buttoned dress with long, full skirts that are gathered into tight panels at the back, creating the distinctive bustle silhouette. She accessorizes her outfit with a large, white parasol, a handkerchief tied around her neck, and a pair of white gloves. Her bonnet, adorned with roses and a brimmed straw hat, completes her seaside ensemble. The second woman wears a similar dress, but in a darker color. Her dress also features a high collar and long, full skirts, but her bonnet is simpler, with a smaller brim and no adornments. Both women carry fans, a popular accessory for keeping cool in the summer heat. The scene takes place outdoors, with the women walking along the sandy coastline and the vast expanse of the sea stretching out behind them. The women's relaxed and content expressions suggest a carefree day at the seaside, a popular pastime for the fashionable set during the Victorian era.
