EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a stunning girls' fancy dress from the year 1897. Crafted with exquisite materials such as silk, cotton, and satin, this garment is a true testament to the elegance of Victorian fashion. Preserved by the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, it offers us a glimpse into the past. What makes this particular dress even more intriguing is that it was printed with pages from the Lancashire Daily Post. Worn at the prestigious 1902 Preston Guild event, this unique ensemble combines elements of newsprint with delicate fabrics to create an eccentric yet enchanting attire. The pink and white color scheme adds a touch of femininity to this masquerade costume. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship make it clear that no expense was spared in its creation. This photograph print not only captures a moment in history but also serves as an advertisement for style and publicity during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece of clothing through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate how fashion has evolved over time while still drawing inspiration from our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that garments can be more than just clothes; they are works of art that reflect societal values and aspirations throughout history.
