EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the elegance of a young Virginia lady's dress from 1775. The photograph, taken in 1937, is an engraving featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800". The unknown creator beautifully portrays the fashion of the eighteenth century, showcasing a full-length portrait of this stylish woman. The Virginia lady stands gracefully with her profile turned to the side, holding a delicate flower she has just picked from nature. Her headdress and headscarf add a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, complementing her sleeveless dress adorned with intricate floral patterns. The bustle at the back adds volume and flair to her skirt. This image not only showcases historical clothing but also provides insight into the country's history during that period. It represents an era when women embraced femininity through their choice of attire while maintaining grace and poise. As we admire this timeless portrait, we are reminded of how fashion can serve as both art and documentation. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into America's past – its culture, style, and societal norms. This print serves as a testament to the beauty found in historical costume and invites us to appreciate our rich heritage as it unfolds before our eyes.
