EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Women's summer costumes: Boating, Cricket, Tennis, and Tricycle" by an unknown artist, dates back to 1888 and was published in a popular Victorian-era family magazine by the name of Hygeia. The image showcases the elegance and charm of summer fashions for women during the late Victorian era, a time when outdoor activities and sports were becoming increasingly popular. The photograph features four vignettes, each depicting a woman engaged in a different summer pastime. In the top left corner, a woman in a stylish striped dress and sun hat sits in a rowboat, holding an oar with a serene expression. In the top right corner, another woman in a long-sleeved blouse and pleated skirt plays cricket, poised with a bat and wicket in hand. The bottom left image shows a woman in a tennis outfit, complete with a racket and tennis ball, ready to serve. Lastly, in the bottom right corner, a woman in a simple yet fashionable dress and sun hat rides a tricycle, her hair flowing in the wind. The photograph is a testament to the versatility and practicality of women's summer clothing during the late Victorian era. The outfits are designed to be both stylish and functional, allowing women to enjoy the outdoors and participate in various activities with ease and grace. The use of bright stripes and sun hats not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the image but also serves a practical purpose, protecting the women from the sun. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era women and their summertime pursuits. It is a reminder of the simplicity and elegance of a bygone era and the enduring appeal of outdoor activities and sports.
