EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive historical archive, transports us back in time to the early 19th century. The elegant lady, dressed in the height of Regency fashion, dons a white muslin dress with a high stand collar and a single ruff. The dress, a classic example of the Empire style popular during this era, accentuates her slender figure and delicate frame. To shield herself from the sun, she carries a tiny parasol, its can barely larger than her petite frame. The parasol, a quintessential accessory for ladies during this period, is adorned with intricate lace and features a hinge mechanism that allows her to easily tilt it for optimal coverage. Her outfit is further complemented by a pale green spencer, complete with a collar and lapels, which she wears over her dress. The spencer, a type of short jacket, adds an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to her ensemble. Matching her dress and spencer, she wears boots with a small heel and laces that crisscross up her ankles. Her head is adorned with a lace cap, which is held in place by a delicate ribbon, and a small hat, the brim of which is tilted ever so slightly to one side. With a fan in hand, she takes a leisurely stroll along the seashore, the gentle breeze ruffling her dress and the sun casting a warm glow over her face. The tiny parasol, with its intricate design and dainty size, is a testament to the attention to detail and elegance of the Regency era. This photograph is a delightful glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of a Regency lady on a sunny day by the sea.
