EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, titled "Six Young Women" by renowned English illustrator Kate Greenaway, dates back to 1879, capturing the essence of Victorian femininity and elegance. The six young women, dressed in their finest attire, exude an air of refinement and grace. Their outfits, reminiscent of the 1870s, include high-waisted dresses with full skirts, adorned with intricate floral patterns and lace details. Each woman holds an accessory that was essential during the Victorian era: a parasol, shielding them from the sun, and a fan, used to keep cool and convey social status. Parasols, often made of silk or straw, were a must-have accessory for women during this time, as they protected their delicate complexions from the sun's harmful rays. The women in this print hold parasols with elegant handles, adorned with ribbons and flowers. Fans, another indispensable accessory, were used to keep cool during hot weather and to convey social status. The women in this print fan themselves gracefully, their faces shrouded in dainty lace veils. Bonnets and hats were also essential components of Victorian women's fashion. The women in this print wear various types of headwear, including bonnets with wide brims and hats adorned with ribbons and flowers. These accessories not only protected women from the sun but also added a touch of style and sophistication to their outfits. The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the women's dresses to the delicate lace on their parasols and fans. Kate Greenaway's mastery of color and composition creates a captivating image that transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where elegance, refinement, and grace were the order of the day.
