EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing a collection of exquisite garments and accessories. Two pairs of stays, or corsets, are displayed prominently, highlighting the fashion trends of that era. The corded linen breeches and leather stock add a touch of masculinity to the ensemble. The attention to detail is evident in every element captured within this image. A bead bag and an intricately embroidered purse hint at the importance placed on small personal belongings during this time period. A quilted petticoat adds texture and elegance to the overall look. Three pairs of spectacles suggest that eyewear was not only functional but also fashionable even centuries ago. And amidst all these historical treasures lies a single silk shoe, perhaps lost or forgotten over time. This photograph is part of Elisabeth McClellan's renowned book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in 1937. It serves as a visual testament to America's sartorial heritage, offering glimpses into the clothing choices and style preferences that shaped our nation's history. As we admire this snapshot from another era, we can't help but marvel at how fashion has evolved over time while still retaining elements from its past. This image invites us to delve deeper into our country's rich cultural tapestry through its attire and accessories – tangible reminders of those who came before us.
