EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of a young boy in periwig during the late 17th century in the Massachusetts Colony. The image, taken by an unknown artist in 1937, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of that era. The boy's direct gaze towards the camera draws us into his world, allowing us to connect with him across centuries. Dressed in colonial clothing, he wears a jacket with an intricate collar that reflects the influence of British fashion at the time. His periwig, a popular wig worn by men during this period, adds an air of sophistication to his youthful appearance. The oval-shaped frame surrounding the portrait enhances its historic charm. This photograph is part of Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. McClellan's work delves into the evolution of American fashion throughout history and provides valuable insights into how clothing reflected societal changes. As we admire this remarkable piece from both the 17th and 20th centuries, it serves as a reminder of America's rich cultural heritage and its connection to British colonialism. This portrait encapsulates not only one individual but also represents an entire era shaped by historical events such as King Charles II's reign over Great Britain and Ireland. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever—a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to understand those who came before us.
