EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous and slightly scandalous scene from the Victorian era, we see a woman struggling to navigate over a country stile in her cage crinoline. The perils of fashion are on full display as she exposes her legs while trying to maintain her modesty with a parasol. The intricate details of her costume, including pantaloons and a stylish hat, add to the historical charm of the image.
The woman's expression conveys both frustration and relief that no one is watching as she battles with the inconvenient contraption that is meant to enhance her style but often hinders her movements. This snapshot captures a moment in time when women were expected to adhere to strict societal norms while also keeping up with ever-changing fashion trends.
As she struggles over the stile, accompanied by an adorable spaniel at her feet, we can't help but admire her determination and resilience in facing the challenges posed by her elaborate attire. Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history for us to enjoy and reflect upon, reminding us of the sacrifices women made in pursuit of high style during the Victorian era.
