EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the early 1820s, where we encounter two dapper gentlemen, Sir Lumley Skeffington and Lord Petersham, adorned in the height of fashionable attire. The men, who are depicted as a footman and a coachman respectively, have adopted the distinctive Cossack style, which was all the rage among the fashionable elite of the era. Sir Lumley Skeffington, dressed in a cossack trouser suit, wears a box coat with a single cape, which is draped elegantly over his shoulder. His footman's livery is completed with a white waistcoat, a cravat, and a top hat. Lord Petersham, on the other hand, dons a similar cossack trouser suit, but his coat is adorned with gold buttons and a fur collar, adding an air of opulence to his appearance. He too wears a white waistcoat, a cravat, and a top hat, completing his coachman's livery. The Cossack style, originating from the Cossacks of Eastern Europe, was characterized by its loose-fitting trousers and long coats with capes. This fashion trend was popularized in England during the early 19th century, particularly among the dandy class, who sought to distinguish themselves from the traditional British aristocracy. The Cossack style represented a rebellion against the rigid and formal dress codes of the time, and allowed for a greater degree of comfort and freedom of movement. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the dandies of the early 1820s, and the unique fashion trends that defined their social and cultural identity. The men's confident and stylish demeanor is evident in their posture and expression, making for a truly captivating and intriguing image.
