VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This black and white photograph captures a woman posing in an elaborate historical dress. The attire is identified as "Queen Victoria's 1851 Dress" and created by Herbert Sidon, suggesting it is either a replica or styled after the fashion of that era. The subject stands with poise, her gaze directed off-camera to her right, embodying the regal elegance associated with Queen Victoria's reign.
The dress features intricate lace detailing and layered fabrics, characteristic of mid-19th century high-society fashion. It includes a wide neckline adorned with ruffles and short puffed sleeves, both common elements in women’s formal wear at the time. A dark sash accentuates the waistline while adding contrast to the predominantly light-toned gown.
Accessories complementing the ensemble include what appears to be a delicate tiara atop neatly arranged hair, earrings, bracelets on each wrist, and possibly a brooch or pendant at the center of the neckline. She also holds what seems like gloves or a folded fan in her left hand.
The backdrop is simple yet elegant—drapery faintly visible—ensuring all attention remains on this representation of Victorian-era finery captured by photographer Gordon Anthony.
