EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to August, 1854, as we take a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion through this image from the "Illustrated London News." The focus of this full-length photograph is a young boy, elegantly dressed in the latest trends of the season. The boy's outfit begins with an unbleached cap adorned with a plume, the same color as the cap, adding a touch of sophistication to his look. His blouse, made of plain popeline fabric, is accessorized with small, flat braid trimming called brandenbourgs. These ornaments are often worn in a darker color but the well-matched ones, as depicted in this image, are considered most distinguished. The boy's attire also includes a coat, dress, and pants, all in keeping with the fashionable styles of the time. His coat, likely made of a heavier fabric for the cooler months, is worn open to reveal the details of his dress and pants. The dress, which falls just below the knee, features a full skirt with a hoop and stick to help maintain its shape. The pants, known as bloomers, are worn beneath the dress and are a common element of boys' clothing during this period. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable pastimes and leisure activities of the Victorian era, as well as the importance placed on dressing appropriately for the season and social occasion. The intricate details of the boy's outfit, captured in this engraving, provide a captivating window into the world of 19th century fashion.
