The striking black hat features, as many ladies' hats did in the Victorian era, a panache of dark bird feathers, and the snow falls lightly on the puffy, beret-style hat. The puffy motif continues in her sleeves, with a \"leg o’ mutton\" poof at the shoulders; just like the hat was adorned with feathers, she wears a spiky, feathery scarf around her neck and keeps her hands warm in a fur Muff!

The mother's cinched waist, thin sleeves, and starched collar and cuffs reflect the more modern woman's shift away from earlier Victorian bustles, fringe, and patterns. The introduction of shirtwaists as a practical women's top indicated a more masculine style emerging. Her ornate belt buckle is more practical and affordable than a brooch or hairpin, and it adds a central element to her relatively understated outfit. Meanwhile, the child is in a christening gown abundant with ruffles and trim, which stands in stark contrast to the newly simplified women's wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Okay with some aging and damage on the front \u003cbr\u003eNo writing\u003cbr\u003eBlack and white\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ephemera4You","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460844372183,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9632\/0471\/files\/il_fullxfull.6842578084_5kqq.webp?v=1761833013"},{"product_id":"rppc-1880s-victorian-brother-and-sister-ericsson-614-fifth-avenue-for-17th-st-brooklyn-new-york-vintage-photo","title":"Cabinet Card of Adorable Children - 1880s Victorian Siblings - Brooklyn, New York - Vintage Photo","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn front: A photo of a young Victorian brother and sister with the caption: Ericsson 614 Fifth Avenue, for. 17th St., Brooklyn, N.
