EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ensemble from the late 19th century, believed to be American in origin. The creator of this stunning piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its history. The ensemble features a beautifully patterned bodice with asymmetrical detailing, highlighting the innovative fashion trends of the Victorian era. The full-length dress is impeccably fitted and made from high-quality wool fabric, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of this period. Delicate beads adorn the garment, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The button accents on this attire not only serve as functional elements but also contribute to its overall aesthetic appeal. Made from a combination of metal and wood materials, these buttons add depth and texture to the ensemble. Displayed at both the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this historic textile serves as a testament to America's rich sartorial heritage. Its vibrant colors evoke a sense of pride for our country's diverse cultural tapestry. As we admire this remarkable creation by Amelia Beard Hollenback - one among many talented women who contributed significantly to fashion during that time - we are transported back in time, appreciating how clothing can reflect both societal norms and individual expression. This photograph preserves not just an object but also tells a story about our past through fabric, design, and artistry.
