EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of a Scottish fishwife from the 19th century, as depicted in Thomas Hailes Lacy's "Female Costumes Historical, National and Dramatic in 200 Plates" published in London in 1865. The intricate details of her traditional costume - from the scarf wrapped around her head to the apron tied around her waist - showcase the everyday attire of women working along Scotland's coastal villages. Thomas Hailes Lacy, a multifaceted British actor, playwright, theatrical manager, and publisher, sought to preserve and celebrate historical costumes through his collection of lithographs. This particular print offers a glimpse into the life and style of Scottish fishwives during this period. The fishwife portrayed exudes strength and resilience as she carries a basket on her arm, ready to sell fresh catch at market. Her petticoat peeking out from under her skirt adds a touch of femininity to an otherwise practical ensemble suited for hard work by the sea. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only the fashion but also the livelihoods of women who played vital roles in their communities. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and traditions that continue to inspire us today.
