EDITORS COMMENTS
The sepia print titled "Dressing for the Ball, c. 1900" captures a moment of anticipation and preparation in the belle epoque era. The image showcases young women getting ready for a ball, their excitement palpable as they meticulously dress themselves in elegant attire. This stereoscopic card, produced by H. C. White Company in Vermont, USA, offers a glimpse into the fashion and customs of the early 20th century. Stereoscopic cards were popular during this time period and allowed viewers to experience a three-dimensional image through a stereoscope. In this particular scene, we see the women carefully adjusting their corsets and petticoats, ensuring that every detail is perfect before stepping onto the dance floor. The attention to detail extends even to their lingerie and underwear choices. The photograph not only captures the physical act of dressing but also conveys an atmosphere of camaraderie among these young women as they prepare together for an evening filled with music and dancing. This prismatic picture from a private collection provides us with a unique window into history – it allows us to witness firsthand how individuals prepared themselves for social events during this glamorous era. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of both our shared humanity across generations and our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through photography.
