EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Parasol, France, c. 1878" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a beautifully crafted accessory of that era. Created by an unknown artist, this parasol is a true work of art and can be found in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The parasol features intricate embroidery done with silk floss in satin flat running black outline and star stitches. The delicate needlework adorns a fabric made from silk satin weave, giving it an elegant touch. Its patterned design adds to its allure, making it a fashionable accessory for women during that time. The knotted wood handle provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal while the steel frame ensures durability. This piece represents the fine craftsmanship prevalent in Europe at the time and specifically reflects French heritage art. With its rich history and cultural significance, this parasol offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends and artistic techniques of 19th-century France. It serves as a reminder of how accessories like these played an essential role not only in protecting individuals from the sun but also as statements of style and sophistication. As we admire this remarkable creation captured through photography, let us appreciate the skillful weaving techniques employed by unknown artisans who contributed to its creation. This print allows us to preserve their legacy while transporting ourselves back to a time when elegance reigned supreme.
