EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Parasol, an American accessory dating back to the mid-19th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The parasol itself is a testament to the fashion and style of Victorian women in America during this period. Made from delicate silk fabric, it exudes elegance and sophistication. The ivory color adds a touch of purity and grace, while the wooden handle provides a sturdy yet graceful grip. One cannot help but be drawn to the intricate details that adorn this parasol. Tassels made from metal thread dangle delicately at its edges, adding movement and charm with every step taken by its owner. These tassels serve as both decorative elements and functional accessories. Displayed proudly at the Brooklyn Museum or The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artifact serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage in textile craftsmanship and fashion history. It represents not only an era when clothing was meticulously designed but also reflects the country's cultural identity during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable Parasol print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how women adorned themselves with such beautiful accessories – truly capturing their essence through fashion choices that continue to inspire us today.
