Description
- Abstract:
- This colored plate depicts a woman surrounded by 3 little boys. She is wearing a typical, white empire-waist dress, probably made from muslin. She is wearing a 'Spencer jacket,' which is an overcoat without tails popularized in England by Earl Spencer. The children look comfortably dressed in 'skeleton suits.' Departing from Rousseau's theories of education, children's fashions swung towards clothes more conducive to play and specific fashions for children were innovated.
