EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Paris Fashions for August - Promenade Dress, 1850," is an engraving from the esteemed Illustrated London News. The print, hailing from the mid-19th century, showcases a fashionable woman dressed in the latest Parisian attire. The promenade dress, designed for leisurely strolls in the countryside or along city streets, is a full-length, walking dress that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the time. The woman in the print wears a voluminous, high-waisted gown with a fitted bodice and a full, bell-shaped skirt. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace trim, adding to its feminine charm. A matching bonnet, adorned with a large bow and a parasol, completes the ensemble. The bonnet, a popular accessory during the Victorian era, protected women from the sun and the elements while they were outdoors. The parasol, another essential accessory, is held in the woman's hand, providing shade from the sun. The parasol, like the bonnet, was a symbol of status and refinement. The woman's outfit is further enhanced by her elegant shoes and gloves, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. This engraving, from the August 1850 issue of the Illustrated London News, provides a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and the importance of Paris as a center for fashion innovation. The print, a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
