"Mcclellan Elisabeth: A Journey Through Time and Fashion" Step into the world as we explore the captivating evolution of clothing through various eras. From the elegant portrait of Sir Edwin Sandys, adorned with a turned-down ruff in the 16th century, to the children's clothing from 1800-1820 that exudes innocence and charm, each piece tells a unique story. Intriguingly, we encounter Samuel Sewall in his periwig and long coat from the early 18th century. His attire reflects an era where fashion was synonymous with grandeur and sophistication. Similarly, Robert Livingston's velvet suit from c1740 showcases opulence and refinement. Delving further back in time, we discover George Percy donning a full shirt of Holland linen paired with a doublet during the early 17th century. This ensemble epitomizes elegance while providing insights into historical dressing customs. The exhibit also features children's clothing from 1850-1860 by Cecil W Trout - delicate garments that evoke nostalgia for simpler times. As we move forward to General Francis Marion's coat with high collar and waistcoat from around 1770, we witness military influence on fashion during this period. Exploring "Clothing during The Republic Under Washington and Adams" allows us to appreciate how style adapted to reflect political changes in America between 1790-1800. Jan Baptist Van Rensselaer stands out with his cuffs reaching above the elbow in his striking coat dating back to c1650. Not limited to apparel alone, our journey takes us through domestic artifacts such as sadirons, tongs, skimmers, forks; trivets; copper chopping-dishes - remnants of daily life in the eighteenth century. Join us at Mcclellan Elisabeth for an immersive experience that celebrates history through exquisite fashion choices spanning centuries.
