EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Empire gown and a matching child's dress, both adorned with delicate Valenciennes lace. Created in 1804 but captured in 1937, the image offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 19th century. The Empire line, characterized by its high waistline, was favored by those of high social status. In this photograph, the garments are depicted in white, symbolizing their regal significance. The direct gaze of the mother and daughter adds depth to the portrait as they stand together, embodying familial bonds and motherhood. The intricate embroidery on both dresses highlights the attention to detail that went into creating these fashionable ensembles. The elegant jewelry worn by the mother further accentuates her elevated social class. Taken from Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" this print serves as a visual representation of historical clothing styles prevalent during that era. It is evident that great care was taken to capture every aspect of these garments' beauty through engraving techniques. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, it transports us back in time to an era where fashion played a significant role in defining one's social standing.
