EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the intricate world of ostrich feather making during the late 19th century. The newfound fashion trend for wearing ostrich feathers in hats and other accessories brought about a surge of activity in the workshops where these natural treasures were transformed into fashionable adornments. In this image, skilled artisans meticulously comb, curl, dress, and tint the ostrich plumes, preparing them for delivery to the milliners. The feathers, with their distinctive quill and barbs, were carefully arranged and shaped to create the desired effect. The use of various dyes added an extra touch of elegance and sophistication. The meticulous process of preparing the ostrich feathers for use in fashion was a labor-intensive and time-consuming endeavor. The feathers were first cleaned and then carefully combed to remove any impurities and to ensure that they were free of damage. The curling process involved heating the quills over a flame and then rolling them between the fingers to create the desired wave or curl. The dressing stage involved shaping the feathers into the desired form, often using wires or other materials to hold the shape. Finally, the feathers were tinted to match the color scheme of the fashion item they would be used in. The rush of work brought about by the new feather fashion created a thriving industry, with workshops springing up to meet the demand. The milliners, in turn, were able to create stunning and innovative designs, making ostrich feathers a must-have accessory for the fashionable set. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of fashion and the craftsmanship that went into creating the clothing and accessories of the past.
