1800 Adorn Afternoon Aigrette Gowns Level Listens Mandolin Medium Pelisse Plays Plumes Stand Waists


EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, hailing from the year 1800, captures the essence of an afternoon filled with music and fashionable elegance. Two graceful ladies engage in a moment of shared enjoyment as one plays the mandolin while the other listens intently. Both women are dressed in fashionable afternoon dresses, their waists situated at the natural or medium-low level, a popular trend during this period. Their gowns, reminiscent of a pelisse style, are adorned with intricate details and plumes, adding an air of sophistication and opulence. The plumes, known as aigrettes, were a common accessory for women's hair during this time, symbolizing wealth and status. The setting is simple yet refined, with a music stand and sheet music nearby, suggesting a formal musical performance. The ladies' attire and posture exude a sense of poise and refinement, reflecting the social customs and expectations of the late 18th century. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when music and fashion were integral parts of daily life. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that have shaped our world, making it a must-have for any collection of historical imagery or costume studies.
