Specificatii
Since the invention of photography there has not been a history of
fashion completely illustrated by photographs -- until this one.
Photography historian Alison Gernsheim first studied Victorian and
Edwardian fashion in order to be able to date photographs in her
collection. Of course the photos soon proved to be the best of all
fashion plates -- authentic, detailed, as decorative and charming
as top fashion illustration. When united with identifications and
descriptions of the chief costume articles, and a commentary that
includes childhood memories of the period, the resulting history is
doubly indispensable -- equally useful and delightful to serious
and casual readers.The invention of photography preceded that of
the crinoline by about a decade. Pre-crinoline bonnets, stovepipe
hats, and deep decolletage are featured in the first of these 235
illustrations -- including a beautiful 1840 daguerreotype portrait
of a lady that is the earliest study of its kind extant. From 1855
to the 1870s the crinoline gave shape (whether barrel, bell,
teapot, or otherwise) to English women, and their shapes fill many
of these full and half-page photos. English men went beardless in
top hats and frock coats; as in other eras, the sporting wear of
the previous generation became acceptable morning and evening town
attire. Styles and accoutrements came and went -- moustaches, straw
hats, bustles and bodice line, petticoats, corsets, shawls and
falsies, flounces, ruffles, lace, and materials -- satin, silk,
velvet, woolen underwear, full-length sable, and osprey feathers.
Many of the models for these fashions were already fashionable
enough -- Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Lillie Langtry, Winston
Churchill, many archdukes, duchesses, counts, princes, and Queen
Victoria herself. Photographers are identified where possible, and
include Nadar, Lewis Carroll, and the Downeys. Every photograph is
captioned and annotated.
