EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the late 19th century, showcasing a footman and page in their elegant attire, proudly presented by Our Boys Clothing Company. Dressed in their finest, the footman wears a grand coatee, complete with a double-breasted design, long tails, and a red and gold striped waistcoat. The page, on the other hand, dons a matching suit, featuring short trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, and a velvet collar and cuffs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lower classes of society during the Victorian era, where servants played an essential role in maintaining the grandeur and order of the upper classes. The footman and page were responsible for various duties, such as carrying trays, opening doors, and attending to guests. Their attire was an integral part of their identity and reflected their position within the household. Our Boys Clothing Company, a leading retailer during this period, offered a wide range of suits and attire for boys and men, making it a go-to destination for those seeking the latest fashion trends. This catalog image provides a fascinating insight into the company's offerings and the historical context of men's and boys' clothing during the late 1800s. The intricate details of the footman's and page's suits, from the shiny buttons to the elegant folds of their garments, highlight the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating these timeless pieces. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of Our Boys Clothing Company but also a captivating reminder of the fashion and social norms of the Victorian era.
