EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Woman Braving the Muddy London Streets in Pattens, 1812 This evocative image captures the determination and resilience of a young woman as she navigates the muddy and foul weather of 19th century London. Dressed in a long petticoat and holding an umbrella, she confidently strides through the narrow, rain-slicked lane, her face set with a determined expression. But what sets her apart from the other women in this scene is her innovative footwear - a pair of pattens. Pattens were a popular accessory in Victorian England, especially during inclement weather. Consisting of wooden clogs with iron rings attached to the soles, they were worn over regular shoes to keep the feet clean and dry in muddy conditions. In this photograph, the iron rings of the pattens can be seen clearly, glinting in the rain-soaked streets. Despite the challenging conditions, the young woman's feet remain dry and protected, allowing her to continue her journey unhindered. The photograph captures a moment of everyday life in Victorian London, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who lived there. This image is a testament to the importance of footwear in protecting us from the elements, and a reminder of the fashion and accessories that shaped the past. Dating back to 1812, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a world of muddy streets, foul weather, and the indomitable spirit of a young woman determined to keep moving forward.
