EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a Non-regulatory Royal Navy coat from the 18th century, a prime example of the garments worn with uniforms during that era. The linen and cotton coat exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the fashion trends of the early 1700s.
The high collar of the coat fastens with two buttons, emphasizing its close fit to the body. This attention to detail highlights the craftsmanship and tailoring skills of the time, as well as the importance placed on appearance in naval attire.
The cut and style of this garment are indicative of what was considered fashionable at the beginning of the 18th century. Its timeless design speaks to a sense of tradition and heritage within naval dress codes.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this piece offers a glimpse into history and allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of an era when clothing was more than just practical attire—it was a symbol of status, authority, and identity.
Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we can immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of maritime history and marvel at how even something as simple as a coat can tell us so much about society's values and norms centuries ago.
