EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Davol Skirtings" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of women's fashion and grooming. The print showcases a scene in a dressing room where an elegant lady is engrossed in her morning routine. Seated at a beautifully adorned dressing table, she gazes intently into the mirror as she meticulously brushes her hair. Her attire exudes sophistication, with layers of delicate clothing draped around her. The skirtings mentioned in the title are subtly depicted, adding an extra touch of elegance to her ensemble. In this intimate setting, we witness not only the act of getting ready but also glimpses of femininity and beauty standards from that era. The presence of maids suggests that this ritual was not just for personal satisfaction but also part of societal expectations. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate engravings on the brush handle to the folds in each garment - creating a sense of realism within this artistic representation. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this print serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while highlighting timeless elements such as self-care and personal style. It invites us to reflect on our own routines and rituals while appreciating the artistry behind these historical moments captured on paper.
