EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Words About Crinoline,' transports us back to the Victorian era of the late 1850s. The image features a young man in formal attire, his brow furrowed in concentration as he leans forward in an attempt to obtain a kiss from a woman. The woman, adorned in an extraordinarily wide crinoline, stands beneath the mistletoe in anticipation, her expression one of playful coyness. The crinoline, a popular fashion accessory during this time period, adds an air of elegance and extravagance to the scene. The vast expanse of the crinoline, however, creates a sense of distance between the two lovers, adding a touch of intrigue and suspense to the moment. The photograph, captured by the renowned Victorian photographer Thomas Walker, beautifully encapsulates the romantic traditions of the era, making it a timeless piece of history. The snow-covered landscape in the background further emphasizes the festive spirit of the season, adding to the overall charm and allure of this enchanting image.
