EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement for an International Fur Store from the year 1889. The image showcases a dapper gentleman dressed for the coldest of winter weather, donning a heavy overcoat with luxurious fur lining. The top hat on his head completes the smart winter outfit, as he gazes off into the distance with a confident air. The 1880s were an era of opulence and elegance, and this advertisement perfectly encapsulates the fashion trends of the time. The gentleman's overcoat, with its voluminous sleeves and high collar, was a must-have for any well-dressed man during the Victorian era. The use of fur as a lining was a sign of wealth and status, making these garments highly sought after. The gentleman's attire is further accentuated by his white tie and tuxedo, which were also popular fashion choices during this period. His well-groomed mustache and neatly trimmed beard add to his distinguished appearance. This advertisement for the International Fur Store is a testament to the fashion sensibilities of the late 19th century. It invites us to imagine a time when fur was considered a luxury item, and the winter season was an opportunity to showcase one's wealth and style. The illustration, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the world of Victorian fashion.
