1795 Ankle Gown Length Petticoat Reveal Seller Shirt Tucked Vendor Wears Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of the working class in England during the late 18th century. The young woman in the photograph is dressed in a white gown, the simplicity of which belies the hard work and long hours she would have endured to earn a living. The gown is tucked up to reveal an ankle-length blue petticoat, a practical addition to her attire that would have protected her dress from the dirt and grime of her daily labors. The young man in the photograph wears a white shirt and a short, green jacket. His attire suggests that he too is a member of the working class, perhaps employed in a trade or as a laborer. The short jacket, a common garment for working men of the time, would have provided both warmth and protection from the elements. Despite their humble circumstances, both the young woman and man in this photograph exude a sense of dignity and pride. Their clothing, while simple and functional, reflects the best that they can afford and the care they take in their appearance. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of the working class in England during the late 18th century, a time of great social and economic change. The photograph is dated 1795, a time when the Industrial Revolution was beginning to transform the English landscape and the lives of its people. This image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the working class during a period of great upheaval and change.
