The First Umbrella - A Sensational Breakthrough in 17th Century Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, created by the European School in the 19th century, transports us back to a momentous event that forever changed the way we protect ourselves from the elements. The year is 1620, and amidst a gentle rainfall, a woman walks through a park with an extraordinary contraption held above her head – the first umbrella. In this educational image from Look and Learn's card series on umbrellas and parasols, we witness not only the practicality of this newfound invention but also its profound impact on society. As women dressed in exquisite costumes stroll nearby, their faces reflect amazement at this revolutionary accessory. The atmosphere is filled with surprise and awe as people marvel at both its functionality and beauty. The artist masterfully captures the emotion of those witnessing history unfold before their eyes. With raindrops falling around them, these individuals experience protection like never before while enjoying leisurely walks regardless of weather conditions. This remarkable breakthrough merges science with fashion as meteorology meets style. Through Bridgeman Images' print reproduction, we are transported to an era where even mundane activities become moments of wonderment. Let us appreciate how something as simple as an umbrella can evoke such strong feelings among people across time – reminding us that innovation has always been met with fascination and excitement throughout history.
