EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1870s, showcases a charming scene of a woman and a sailor boy, both elegantly dressed in Victorian fashion, by the seaside. The woman, dressed in a fashionable purple cape and jacket bodice, wears a puff-sleeved pink polonaise with a front opening skirt and a black lace underskirt. Hanging from her waist is a chatelaine, a popular accessory during this era, adorned with various useful items such as a sewing kit, a posy holder, and a horse-shoe shaped chatelaine key. The sailor boy, with a rosy cheek and mischievous grin, is dressed in a sailor suit complete with a checker-board waistcoat, white collar, and a bow at the neck. He wears a hat with a wide brim and a red band, adding to his nautical look. In his hand, he holds a wooden sailor's board, a toy that was a common plaything for children of this era. The woman is also wearing an intriguing brooch, shaped like an elephant, which adds a touch of whimsy to her outfit. The backdrop of the photograph is the serene sea, with puffing ships in the distance, adding to the romantic and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the late Victorian era, a time when elegance, playfulness, and a sense of adventure went hand in hand. The image captures the joy and innocence of childhood, as well as the grace and sophistication of womanhood, making it a timeless treasure in the annals of history.
