EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1873, captures a lively group of women on holiday, braving the chill of March with their oversized sack coats. The women, dressed in the latest Victorian fashion, don their exaggerated, oversized coats that were all the rage during the 1870s. These long, puffed and double-breasted coats, often referred to as "ulstermarine" or "scouring coats," were designed to provide maximum warmth during the winter months. The women's outfits are completed with matching boaters or hats, adding a playful touch to their winter ensembles. The hats, often adorned with ribbons and flowers, were an essential accessory for women during this era. In their hands, they hold fashionable accessories such as punches and muffs, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to their outfits. Despite the bulky coats, the women's spirits are not dampened as they engage in a lighthearted moment, perhaps stealing a glance at the Palladium, a popular music hall and theatre located in London at the time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique fashion trends and the joyful spirit of women during the Victorian era.
