EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late 19th century photograph captures the image of a small boy proudly posing outdoors while wearing a beautiful 3/4 length knitted coat. The light-colored garment, adorned with a collar and turned back cuffs, is a prime example of intricately crafted knitwear from the Victorian era. The boy's shoes, featuring a distinct bar across the instep, complement the outfit perfectly. The serene garden setting, with its ornate carved ornament in the background, adds to the idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The boy's expression suggests a sense of pride and joy as he dons this elaborate and warm attire, which would have been essential during the colder months. The knitted coat, with its ornate details and high-quality woolen material, was a cherished possession for children during this time. The intricate stitching and careful attention to detail are evident in the collar and cuffs, which were often the most ornate parts of the coat. The turned back cuffs, in particular, were a popular feature, allowing the wearer to roll up their sleeves for play or to show off the cuffs' decorative design. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Victorian childhood and the importance of warm, well-made clothing during the late 19th century.
