EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of children dressed in Victorian costumes, captured in 1859. The boys are seen wearing tunics with gaiters, sashes, and knickerbockers. The gaiters, a type of legging that covers the leg from the knee down, were a popular addition to Victorian boys' attire. The tunics, often made of wool or tweed, were typically worn with a sash around the waist, adding a touch of sophistication to the outfit. The girls, on the other hand, are dressed in elegant pardessus and plaid tunic dresses, adorned with velvet trim. Pardessus were a type of dress worn over a corset and petticoat, often made of silk or satin. The plaid tunics, a nod to the Scottish tartan trend, were a popular choice for girls' dresses during this era. The girls are also wearing chemisettes with bishop sleeves, a style that featured long, wide sleeves that fell over the hands, and short dresses with sashes. The children in this photograph exude a sense of innocence and charm, making it a delightful glimpse into the fashion trends of the Victorian era. The boys' forage caps, a type of soft hat with a wide brim, add to their dapper appearance, while the girls' dresses and chemisettes showcase the intricate detailing and elegant designs that were popular during this time. With their bright eyes and playful expressions, these children capture the spirit of childhood during the late 19th century.
