EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MOTHER AND CHILD, 1850. The First Pants" we are transported back to the year 1850 in America. This steel engraving showcases an intimate moment between a mother and her son, capturing a slice of daily life during that era. The image portrays a middle-class American family inside their cozy home. The mother is dressed in traditional clothing, wearing a bonnet on her head, while cradling her young son lovingly in her arms. What makes this scene particularly intriguing is the presence of the first pants worn by the child. During this time period, it was customary for boys to wear dresses until they reached a certain age when they would transition into pants. This engraving provides us with an insightful glimpse into this significant milestone in children's fashion history. Adding charm to the composition is their loyal pet dog standing faithfully beside them, symbolizing companionship and loyalty within the family unit. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand beautifully captures not only historical context but also highlights themes of maternal love and familial bonds that transcend time. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors lived and dressed while evoking nostalgia for simpler times gone by.
