EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Charles Clifford in the 19th century. This black and white albumen silver print showcases the traditional costumes and clothing of the people living in Palma and its surroundings on the Balearic Islands. In this mesmerizing portrait, men and women are depicted wearing their distinctive attire. The women don elegant dresses with crinolines, hoop skirts, lace embellishments, and headscarves that add a touch of grace to their appearance. Some ladies even wear veils or headdresses as part of their traditional dress. The men stand tall beside them, dressed in harem pants or trousers paired with hats or headgear that reflect their cultural heritage. Their outfits exude an air of authenticity and showcase the unique style prevalent during that era. Charles Clifford's keen eye for detail captures not only the fashion but also provides us with a glimpse into the lives of these individuals from another time. The photograph transports us back to 1860s Spain, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions preserved within these communities. This remarkable piece is now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it stands as a testament to Charles Clifford's talent as well as an invaluable record of Spanish culture in days gone by.
