EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a "Portrait of a Dutch lady of the New York Colony" from around 1765. The unknown creator beautifully captures the essence of this elegant woman, dressed in traditional colonial attire. Her arms are crossed, exuding confidence and poise as she looks directly at the camera with a direct gaze. The lady's outfit is meticulously detailed, featuring a close-fitting cap and kerchief made of sheer lawn fabric delicately edged with lace. The bonnet adds an extra touch of sophistication to her ensemble. This portrait serves as a visual representation of the fashion trends prevalent during the eighteenth century in America. Taken from Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in 1937, this image provides valuable insight into the clothing styles worn by women living in British colonies such as New York during that era. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for North American history and colonialism while also highlighting the influence of Dutch culture on fashion at that time. It serves as both an illustration and historical documentation, allowing viewers to delve into the past through one person's portrait. With its timeless appeal, this print transports us back to an era when elegance was paramount and personal style spoke volumes about one's social status within society.
