EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the back view of a flying Josie, a garment worn in Pennsylvania during the late 18th century. Made of delicate white cambric fabric, this historic piece reflects the fashion trends of colonial America. The image is sourced from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. The flying Josie showcases the elegance and sophistication of Georgian clothing with its flowing silhouette and intricate details. This antique attire provides a glimpse into the domestic life and style choices of individuals living in British colonies during that era. Through this studio shot, we are transported to a different time period, where linen garments like this were commonly worn as everyday clothing. The photograph evokes nostalgia for an old-fashioned way of life while also serving as an important historical document. As we admire this image, it reminds us of our rich heritage and how fashion has evolved over centuries. It serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship that went into creating such exquisite garments during America's early years.
