EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume plate, titled "Two Women with a Little Girl Buying Railway Tickets," transports us back to the charming and elegant Victorian era of June 1866. The image, a beautiful snapshot of everyday life during this period, is filled with intricate details that showcase the fashion trends and the emerging transport revolution. Two women, dressed in the height of Victorian fashion, stand at the railway ticket office. The elder woman, wearing a stunning blue dress with mauve and beige accents, dons a large, ornate hat adorned with ribbons and bows. Her companion, dressed in a similar style, wears a beige skirt, a blue blouse, and a hat with a parasol. Both women wear gloves and carry parasols, a common accessory for protection against the sun. The little girl, dressed in a striped dress and a hat with a bow, clutches her tickets in her hand, her eyes wide with excitement. The ticket office, with its ornate woodwork and steam train in the background, adds to the sense of adventure and anticipation. The use of stripes in the children's clothing and the women's parasols reflects the popular fashion trend of the time. The women's elegant attire, complete with ribbons, bows, and hats, highlights the importance of appearance and presentation in Victorian society. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion trends, transport revolution, and everyday life in the Victorian era. The women's elegant attire, the little girl's excitement, and the steam train in the background all combine to create a captivating and timeless image.
