Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of 18th-century fashion is now preserved in the esteemed collections of both the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States. The parasol itself is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. Made from a combination of baleen, bone, silk, metal, wood, and ivory - it represents the intricate blend of materials used in creating fashionable accessories during that era. The delicate fabric draped over its frame adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back to America's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved throughout history while still retaining elements that continue to inspire modern-day designers. This print captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It invites us to appreciate the skillful workmanship behind such objects and encourages us to delve deeper into our country's sartorial past. With no known creator attributed to this masterpiece, it remains shrouded in mystery - adding an air of intrigue surrounding its origins. This photograph immortalizes this extraordinary parasol so that future generations can marvel at its timeless charm and contribution to women's wear in early America.
