EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sketch in Cologne, 1845" offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of Germany during the 19th century. The creator of this intriguing piece remains unknown, adding to its mystique. The image showcases two distinct groups of individuals against a picturesque backdrop. In the foreground stands a family accompanied by two women. The lady at the center wears an elegant morning bonnet with a long curtain, complemented by a polka pelisse - typical countryside attire for that era. Interestingly, her child's dress mirrors her own fashion choices on a smaller scale. Meanwhile, the gentleman sports an unmistakably oversized Continental hat that highlights his status and adds flair to his ensemble. Moving towards the background, we encounter another group consisting of women from the middle class. Their traditional dresses exude charm and grace as they carry baskets while strolling through their surroundings. A parasol gracefully shields them from sunlight or rain showers - an essential accessory for any Victorian woman. Originally featured in "Illustrated London News" in 1845 (Volume VII), this engraving captures not only clothing styles but also provides valuable insights into German culture during that time period. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time by an anonymous artist, it serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression – allowing us to connect with our past through visual storytelling.
