Shopping in Sedan Chairs - A Glimpse into 18th Century British Royalty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the elegance and opulence of shopping in sedan chairs during the last century. The image showcases an enchanting scene from Queen Charlotte's visit to Pears for soap, renowned for its benefits to her complexion, in 1789. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, beautifully illustrates this historical moment featured in Pears Annual Christmas edition of 1896. It offers a fascinating insight into the fashion and customs of Georgian England. Intriguing details abound within this vibrant composition. The seductive allure of period costumes worn by both shoppers and shopkeepers transports us back to a time when style was paramount. The ornate shop sign adds charm to the bustling street scene while sedan chairs provide luxurious transportation for those privileged enough to indulge. Queen Charlotte herself is depicted with regal grace, showcasing her distinctive hairstyle and exquisite dress that epitomize British royal fashion at its finest. This snapshot captures not only a significant event but also reflects British culture and heritage during this era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, it serves as a reminder of how far society has evolved since then. Yet it also allows us to appreciate the rich history that shaped our present-day world – one where traditions blend seamlessly with progress.
