EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of a young girl in Philadelphia during the 18th century. The photo print, taken in 1937, showcases an unknown artist's talent for capturing both the innocence and maturity of this teenage subject. Dressed in colonial attire, the girl wears a bonnet adorned with a delicate bow, symbolizing her place within British colonies. Her clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era, showcasing intricate details such as ruffles and lace. The oval-shaped frame adds to the vintage charm of this historic piece. With a direct gaze towards the camera, she exudes confidence beyond her years. Her youthful features are highlighted by her rosy cheeks and gentle smile. This portrait not only serves as a documentation of American costume history but also provides insight into societal norms and expectations during that time period. The location is unmistakably Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - one of America's oldest cities with deep historical roots. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the life of this young girl living in colonial America; her dreams, aspirations, and experiences remain forever frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan (published by Tudor Publishing Company), we are reminded of how art can transcend centuries to connect us with our past while inspiring future generations to appreciate their heritage.
