Page 135 of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Card Collection 1885 http://goo.gl/pcJWhg shows us this small scrap with big style and color. Just one dress like this in Emma Jane Arnold's closet would delight her!
Setting aside the racial/cultural stereotypes of the time, I think the character designs in the brush adverts are really neat. The big heads & little bodies, the four color press, even the misregistered ink - just sort-of fun to look at.
Emma Jane is moving her Victorian Fashion Collection to [ https://arnoldsvictorianfashion.blogspot.com/ ] AND [ https://www.flickr.com/photos/thevictorian/albums/72157674640244377 ] These new locations will host new content and some of the old will migrate there, too. Thanks for following & hope to see you at the new locations!
Nature studied here! He is carefully explaining. As a proper young Victorian woman, she is being diplomatic, allowing him to show her the world while she sees things from a different angle. Her generation will be the first where women have the right to vote in America. #VictorianFashions #19thCenturyTradeCards
