EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a mother and child dressed in mourning attire from 1809. The unknown creator beautifully depicts the somber moment, showcasing the deep grief experienced by this mother after the loss of a loved one. The mother's dress is made of black cashmere, with a scarf drapery of crepe adding an additional layer of sorrow to her appearance. Her daughter stands beside her, wearing a delicate white mull cap adorned with a black ribbon. Both figures are captured in full length, their heads slightly bowed as they hold hands, symbolizing their shared pain and support for each other. The image is taken from "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan, published by Tudor Publishing Company in 1937. This historical engraving offers us a glimpse into the fashion and customs surrounding mourning during the early 19th century in America. Through this photograph, we can feel the weight of loss that these two individuals carry. It serves as a reminder of how deeply emotions were expressed through clothing during times of bereavement. The simplicity yet elegance of their garments reflects both societal expectations and personal expressions of grief. As we gaze upon this print today, it allows us to reflect on our own understanding and rituals surrounding death and mourning throughout history while honoring those who have come before us.
