EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite Evening mitts, believed to be from the late 19th century in America. The creator of these stunning accessories remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to their story. The delicate lacework on these elbow-length mitts is truly remarkable, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during this era. Made from luxurious silk fabric, they exude elegance and sophistication. These evening mitts are a testament to the fashion trends of the Victorian era, reflecting the style and taste of women's attire at that time. The ribbons delicately tied around each wrist add a touch of femininity and charm. Preserved in impeccable condition, this artifact serves as a window into history, offering us glimpses into the sartorial choices made by women in 19th-century America. It reminds us of our rich heritage and cultural legacy. Displayed prominently at both the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this photograph print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance associated with these evening mitts. As we admire this piece from an unknown creator, we are reminded that art transcends time and place; it connects us with our past while inspiring future generations. Let us cherish such treasures as they remind us of our shared identity as Americans.
