EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Parasol, American, dating back to the years 1860-65. Created by the talented Fortis, this exquisite piece of art belongs to the 19th century and is currently housed in prestigious institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The parasol itself exudes elegance with its black color and intricate floral pattern adorning its silk fabric. Its scalloped edges give it a touch of sophistication while the tortoiseshell handle adds a luxurious feel. Made from a combination of metal and wood, this accessory exemplifies fine craftsmanship. A true representation of Victorian fashion, this parasol was an essential part of women's attire during that era. It not only served as protection against sunlight but also added gracefulness to their ensemble. The delicate lace detailing further enhances its charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of history unfold before our eyes. This parasol symbolizes the rich heritage and cultural significance attached to fashion accessories from America's past. With every stitch and pattern carefully crafted by Fortis' skilled hands, this Parasol captures both beauty and functionality in one extraordinary creation. A testament to American ingenuity and style, it stands as an enduring reminder of our country's sartorial legacy for generations to come.
