Back view of a grey blue striped silk jacket with long sleeves, folding lapels and a high collar. It has a triangular shawl like drape to the back and a short pleated peplum decorated with self covered round buttons. It is trimmed with a multi coloured silk frayed fringe
Another favourite style of mine and here a rarity of a survival, an early #1790s ribbed silk caraco jacket. It is short and might have been described, a little hysterically at the time, as mannish. It is brilliant and beautiful. Sold via #kerrytaylorauctions #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A green silk striped jacket with matching buttons and standing collar with a waistcoat style under bodice of cream silk with floral embroidery
A beautiful rendition of womenswear echoing the style of their fashionable male counterparts here in #1790s style. The tailoring of silk stripes with embroidered waistcoat beneath but following the contours of the cinched waist #museetissuslyon #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

![This self-portrait miniature by Anne Mee shows two popular pathways for female English artists in the 18th century: miniature painting and self-portraiture. Because of their intimate nature and small scale, miniature painting was considered more appropriate for women artists, who also benefited from the small size and portability of the materials needed to paint these delicate watercolour pictures on ivory.
While many women artists would go on to find extensive patronage and commissions, their access to sitters was sometimes restricted early in their training. One subject was always available: your own likeness. This portrait miniature remains one of Mee’s most remarkable works, demonstrating the artist's soft but intensely emotive technique and her Romantic tendencies.
Anne Mee (born Foldsone) was a British miniature painter active into the early nineteenth century. She likely trained with her father, John Foldsone, before taking lessons with George Romney. Her portrait practice supported the family financially after the passing of Mee’s father in 1784. In 1788, the poet William Hayley wrote of Mee:
“I am sitting for him [George Romney] to a young female genius in miniature, who, at the age of seventeen, will, I trust, under his patronage, most comfortably raise, and support by her wonderful talent, a drooping family.”
Mee was celebrated during her lifetime and gained the patronage of Queen Charlotte and the Prince of Wales. Her husband, Joseph Mee, was supportive of her practice, though the diarist Farrington remarked that he “consented to let her paint ladies only who were never to be attended by gentlemen.”
Though reserved, he must have understood the financial incentives in letting Mee continue to paint: her practice was exceptionally lucrative, surpassing prices charged by male contemporaries like Richard Cosway.
Mee exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution between 1804 and 1837.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dtli5s7b2qnvvqcgh74ruri5/bafkreif4uteu4szz53ymunngnqhib5zih6vywaxjif65a3v6cbk4dgmq6u)

Front and back view of a cream silk cape with a large hood, longer at the front with a neck tie and shorter at the back. Hand embroidered
Detail of a shaded green embroidered grasshopper against cream silk
In an era where there was a lot of wig to accommodate, capes had to match the required dimensions. This late #1790s cream silk is covered with hand embroidered floral and fauna including this bouncy little grasshopper @metcostume.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
