EDITORS COMMENTS
Fashions for May - Straw Hats, for Promenade, 1850" is an elegant and intriguing engraving from the Illustrated London News, showcasing the height of Victorian fashion for women's headwear. The image, created in 1850, features several women dressed in the latest styles, all donning broad-brimmed straw hats as they stroll along a promenade. The wide-brimmed hats, which have become synonymous with the Victorian era, are the focal point of the print. The women in the illustration are dressed in the finest clothing of the time, with full skirts and high collars, accessorized with gloves and parasols. Their hats, however, are the true stars of the image. The wide brims of the hats provide ample shade from the sun, while the intricate details and ribbons add a touch of elegance and sophistication. The broad-brimmed straw hat was a must-have accessory for women during promenades in the early to mid-19th century. These hats were not only fashionable but also practical, as they provided protection from the sun and rain. The popularity of the straw hat can be seen in the numerous depictions of women wearing them in Victorian-era art and literature. This engraving, from the esteemed Illustrated London News, provides a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and offers a fascinating look into the world of Victorian women's fashion. The print, though unsigned, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the broad-brimmed straw hat and the importance of fashion in the 19th century. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration for modern fashion, this engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion or Victorian-era art. It serves as a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the past and the enduring appeal of timeless fashion trends.
