EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Parasol, crafted in America during the late 19th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it is evident that this parasol was designed with utmost care and craftsmanship. The delicate fabric used for the canopy features elegant lace and frills, creating a sense of femininity and grace. Ribbons gracefully cascade down from the top, adding a touch of whimsy to this fashionable accessory. The combination of wood and metal in its construction ensures both durability and beauty. As we gaze upon this artifact from another era, we are transported back to a time when fashion played an essential role in self-expression. This parasol not only protected women from the sun but also served as a symbol of status and style. Now housed at the Brooklyn Museum or The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this piece stands as a testament to American heritage artistry. Its presence evokes nostalgia for bygone days while reminding us of the timeless appeal of Victorian women's wear. Whether displayed in a museum or cherished within one's private collection, this Parasol serves as a tangible link between past generations and our modern appreciation for history's sartorial treasures.
