EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1886, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a stunning selection of black Surah parasols, a popular accessory among fashionable women of the Victorian era. The elegance and intricacy of these parasols are evident in their elaborate designs, which include carved handles, tassels, flounces, fringing, lace, and ribbons. The Surah parasol, named after the Surah district in Calcutta where they were originally produced, was a must-have item for women during the late 1800s. Its black color and ornate decorations made it a chic alternative to the more traditional white parasols commonly used to shield oneself from the sun. The parasols in this photograph are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. Each parasol is unique, with intricate carvings on the handles, delicate lace and ribbon trimmings, and fringing that adds a playful touch. The tassels, often made of silk or other luxurious materials, add a sense of opulence and sophistication. The women in this era took great pride in their appearance and accessories, and the black Surah parasol was no exception. It was not only a practical item for protecting against the sun, but also a statement piece that reflected one's sense of style and taste. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian fashion and the intricate details that went into creating beautiful and elegant accessories like the black Surah parasol. It is a reminder of a time when fashion was an art form and accessories played a significant role in expressing one's identity and status.
