Created by Sophie B Steel, this image is part of "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan. The vibrant red color of the gown commands attention, symbolizing power and wealth. Its golden accents add a touch of regality, while the cream-colored undergarments provide a subtle contrast. The woman wearing this exquisite garment exudes confidence and grace as she stands with her hands clasped. With her brown hair styled in ringlets framing her face, she embodies timeless beauty. Her profile captures a sense of poise and sophistication that transcends centuries. This print transports us back to an era when British colonies flourished in America.
