EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare piece of American history - the "Flying Josie" garment. Worn in late 18th century Pennsylvania, this exquisite creation is made of delicate white cambric fabric. The photograph, taken in 1937 by an unknown artist, transports us back to a time when colonialism was at its peak. The Flying Josie represents the fusion of British influences with American ingenuity during this era. Its elegant design reflects the Georgian fashion trends that prevailed in North America at the time. This particular garment holds significance as it symbolizes both domesticity and style. Elisabeth McClellan's book, "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York, serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of clothing during this period. Through her meticulous research and detailed descriptions, McClellan brings to life the stories behind these historical garments. As we gaze upon this image captured decades ago, we are reminded of our country's rich heritage and how fashion has played an integral role in shaping our identity. The Flying Josie stands as a testament to craftsmanship and creativity that transcends time. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance of such artifacts from early America. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these pieces continue to inspire awe and fascination among those who seek to understand our past.
