EDITORS COMMENTS
March Winds: A Victoriana Vignette by Lewis Baumer Amidst the crisp air and blossoming buds of spring, the month of March is often graced with the unpredictable whims of the wind. In this illustration by Lewis Baumer, titled "March, Windy Day," we witness a woman from the Victorian era, elegantly dressed in a puff-sleeved leg-o-mutton gown and a large, ornate hat, bravely facing the gusts of the season's first strong winds. Lewis Christopher Edward Baumer (1870-1963) was a renowned British caricaturist, best known for his work with Punch magazine, where he contributed for over half a century. Baumer's illustrations were a staple in the publication, providing witty commentary on the social and political climate of the time. In "March, Windy Day," Baumer masterfully captures the essence of the season's unpredictability, as the woman's voluminous gown and hat billow around her, while she clings to her parasol for support. The woman's determined expression and the playful, exaggerated lines of her clothing evoke a sense of both resilience and amusement, as she embraces the challenges of the March winds. This enchanting illustration, created in 1895, offers a delightful glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1890s and the Victorian era's unique blend of fashion, whimsy, and the ever-changing caprices of nature.
