EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant world of fashion in April 1857, as depicted in this stunning wood engraving from the Illustrated London News. The image showcases four exquisite ball gowns, each more breathtaking than the last. The first figure on the left wears a pink silk tunic over a white tulle dress, with a bouquet de corsage of two white roses. The tunic is open at the sides, revealing a peek of decolletage, and is edged with scallops cut out or pinked. The second figure dons a robe of blue silk with a double skirt and side trimmings, formed of bouillones of silk and edged with white lace. Her headpiece is adorned with narrow cords of blue flowers without foliage. The third figure's dress is of white tulle over white satin, with her hair styled in rouleaux and intertwined with pendent sprays of flowers. Lastly, the fourth figure's gown consists of a double skirt of pink glace, with the lower skirt trimmed with deep bouillone of white tulle. The Victorian era came alive through the fashionable apparel of the day, as depicted in this beautiful and intricate illustration. This black and white wood engraving is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the 19th century, and a reminder of the timeless beauty of fashion.
