EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of history - a suit of velvet worn by Robert Livingston of Clermont Manor, New York, around 1740. The photograph was taken in 1937 and is featured in the book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" by Elisabeth McClellan. The suit itself is an exquisite example of eighteenth-century fashion, showcasing intricate raised figures on the velvet fabric. It reflects the colonial era and provides a glimpse into the clothing styles worn during that time period. Robert Livingston, who lived from 1688 to 1775, was a prominent figure in early American history. He resided at Clermont Manor, an estate located in New York State. This image offers us a tangible connection to his life and legacy. The photograph's vintage aesthetic adds to its charm and evokes nostalgia for both the thirties when it was captured and the eighteenth century it represents. Its inclusion in "History of American Costume" speaks to its significance as an artifact worth preserving. As we admire this studio shot, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty of this antique outfit but also gain insight into America's rich cultural heritage.
