EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an advertisement for the iconic Vassar skirt, a symbol of women's fashion and empowerment in the 19th century. The color lithograph showcases the exquisite design and craftsmanship of this revolutionary garment, which was highly sought after by fashionable women of that era. The image transports us back to a time when trade cards and ephemera played a significant role in advertising. This particular advertisement highlights not only the beauty of the skirt but also its association with Vassar College, a prestigious institution known for providing higher education opportunities to women. The backdrop features an elegant building, possibly representing Vassar College itself, adding an air of sophistication and intellectualism to the advert. It serves as a reminder that fashion can be both stylish and empowering while challenging societal norms. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from Look and Learn / Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, we are reminded of how advertisements have evolved over time. From simple trade cards to sophisticated marketing campaigns, they continue to shape our perception of clothing trends. This print is more than just an advertisement; it is a glimpse into history – showcasing not only beautiful garments but also reflecting changing attitudes towards women's education and independence. It stands as testament to how fashion has always been intertwined with culture, society, and progress throughout the ages.
