What did 19th century artists wear?
Normally, everyday dress (dark dresses), sometimes a white coat, covering only the chest and the lower part of the body as the "uniform" used by cookers, The white coat (doctor's coat) was used as well. There was not a "common" uniform,or a standard dress to "identify" an artist. The Impressionists, for sure used nothing but everyday dresses: Claude Monet: http://www.monetpainting.net/photographs.php http://www.openculture.com/2012/07/rare_film_claude_monet_at_work_in_his_famous_garden_at_giverny_1915.html - Renoir: http://www.openculture.com/2012/07/astonishing_film_of_arthritic_impressionist_painter_pierre-auguste_renoir_1915.html Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot: http://paintingperceptions.com/why-painting-perceptions/some-thoughts-on-new-directions-for-painting-perceptions Toulouse-Lautrec: http://www.luxurytraveler.com/toulouse-lautrec.html http://juanmuro52.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/estudio.jpg Edgar Degas: http://agooddaytodie.tumblr.com/post/1198383894/edgar-degas-french-painter-specializing-in In England: Hergones Calderon: https://www.google.com/search?q=delacroix+painting&complete=0&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VEqCUrm6Bon4kQenyoHADQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=665#complete=0&q=cormon+painting&tbm=isch&tbs=ic:gray&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=InPMbPf3mpmCcM%3A%3BwXHzEYFFJgSUIM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.passionforpaintings.com%252Fimg%252Fportraits%252F550.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.passionforpaintings.com%252Fart-gallery%252Fphilip-hermogenes-calderon-painter%252F%3B1106%3B1101
Why do Mennonite women dress like they are from the 19th century?
Conservative Amish and Mennonite women wear an outer bonnet (usually black) in obedience to the Biblical commands given in 1 Tim. 2:9-15, 1 Peter 3:1-6, and Titus 2:3-5 that a Christian woman should be discreet, chaste, modest, sober-minded, in subjection, meek and quiet, and shamefaced. The bonnet fosters the proper sense of godly reserve and shamefacedness, especially in regards to interaction with the opposite sex, that is becoming of a Christian woman. These women would also wear white cap-style headcovering or "veiling", often made of opaque mesh, under their bonnet, in obedience to the commands given in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. These commands are that a Christian woman should have long uncut hair, and that it should be modestly covered with a veil that is a sign of her being under the authority of her husband or father. Addition: Sorry I had to add to this The actual reason is that in the bible it says a woman must worship with her head covered and in the Amish and mennonite faith one should be prepared to pray and worship at anytime. Therefore, their heads are covered all the time.
Why do Mennonite women dress like they are from the 19th century?
I'm mennonite and it's really hard sometimes to dress differently. It so our bodies are covered and we are modest. You could very politely ask one of them. I find it funny when people ask me questions but don't mind it. Why do the guys get to dress normal? Well I have no idea. Most conservative ones don't wear shorts though
Why did Turks used to dress like Europeans in the 19th century?
19th century turks? you sure about that? in the 20th century, central asian turks dressed in a russian fashion because of attempted russification and turkey’s turks because of attaturk and secularism. I’m pretty sure that the people of the ottoman empire back in the 19th century dressed middle eastern-ish and central asian turks in a turkic fashion.
What activities did New York's 19th- Century gangs take part in?
It was not until the 19th century that "criminal" gangs first formed. As the result of a worsening economy and growing population that increased competition for jobs, gangs began to specialize in crime and became a part of America 's cities. Irish Gangs Irish immigrants formed the first American criminal gangs in New York City . Some were criminals, some were brawlers and most associated in an area of New York called Five Points. They had dress codes and called their members by code nicknames. (Many of the gang rituals of today have their roots in this period.) The first Irish gang to have a recognized leader was the Forty Thieves, organized by Edward Coleman in 1826. Gangs also arose in the Bowery. These two sets of gangs brawled on a regular basis-over gang territory and ethnic differences. Sometimes the battles were so long and intense that the army had to be called in to stop them. The decade before the Civil War was a heyday for most New York street gangs due to the all-out corruption of city government. Gang membership swelled. Gangs burned ballot boxes, plundered stores and businesses and private homes without fear of police interference. Post Civil War After the Civil War in 1865 New York records indicate a presence of Jewish, Italian, African-American and Irish gangs. With the increase in immigrant populations, so grew gang membership. Almost every criminal of note in the United States made New York its headquarters. Chinese gangs appeared in California in the mid-1800s. Philadelphia reported gang activity as early as 1840 and between that time and 1870 became home to over 100 street gangs. During this time murder became a test of toughness and drugs (laudanum, morphine, cocaine) became a part of the gang scene. The level of violence escalated. The Whyos of Five Points used murder as a membership requirement. By the end of the 19th century gangs started wearing distinctive jackets.
19th century fashion?
fashion changed a lot in that period. women's clothing in the early 19th century was light and graceful, straight dresses with high waists, in light fabrics like muslin etc. hair worn up, curled or cut short, bonnets, shawls or pelisses (a short tight jacket). men's fashions had become much simpler too, trousers replacing knee breeches, dark well fitted coats, highly polished boots, cravats, short hair etc. Women's fashions begam to get more elaborate and bulkier from the 1820s onwards, with small waists fashionable again meaning corsets, fuller skirts with several petticoats underneath, and eventually the crinoline, a large hooped frame which made the dress stick out all around. then from about 1870, the crinoline went out to be replaced by the bustle (dress sticking out behind). bonnets reolaced by very elaborqte hats with feathers, flowersm birds etc. men's fashions changed less over the period, dark trousers and jacket still fashuonable, though the cravat was eventually replaced by the necktie. the top hat continued to be popular for men throughout the period. clean shaven was fashionable in the early 19th century, but moustaches became fashionable mid century, and beards too.
Why did the neoclassical dress of the early 19th century give way so quickly to Victorian fashion?
Neo-Classical fashions lasted about as long as Neo-Classicism lasted as an artistic style (in architecture it remained popular) which is to say the 1820s to 1830s. The name is given to fashion really just because of the overall label given to the period by art historians. The dress and hair fashions themselves had little in common with what Greek and Roman women actually wore, other than a most anachronistic perception, to the extent this was even known. In that regard it was not too different from neo-Classicism in other areas.As others have written the style was led by famous women of the day (as much remains the case to present.) As these women changed their preferences in line with overall trends, or they lost status and/or died (e.g., Josephine Bonaparte), other well off ladies changed their ideas accordingly.
What was the dress of the Chilean poor in the nineteenth century?
There isn't a reliable source on this, really. Or at least, I haven't found one. The reason of this is because traditional Chilean history is transmitted thru the elites of those times, and believe me, they didn't want these people to be known of. That said, what can be found will be what the aristocracy allowed to be written down in history.I found these images of the 1910 centenary celebration:In the image above there is a group of people dancing cueca, the national dance.I did important to say at this point that it is a tradition that the elite chose to keep, or chose to let them keep.As for their way of dressing, as they normally would wear torn and dirty clothes, the elite started calling them rotos, similar to the Mexican Léperos or the Peruvian cholos. Rotos can be translated to "the torn, worn out" (and it is a highly derogatory and disrespectful expression that is still used today).As defined by a dictionary of those times:Roto: [...]we use this expression to designate the people of "last class" (or lowest class) [...]The funny thing is that nowadays the image of the "roto chileno" is something to be proud of.Going back to the dress code, you should be aware that the "lower pueblo" was divided into craftsmen and laborers, the latter being the lowest of them all.As for the craftsmen, they tried to dress as similar as the elite as possible, so there isn't much to research there, for all of the pictures you'll find in a google search are of either them or the aristocrats.So, wrapping it up, if you're asking what did the poor laborers, the rotos, dressed like in the XIX century, the answer is this: a kind of poncho called chamanto , sometimes a chupalla (typical horseman or huaso's hat; the man to the farthest left in the picture above is using one, but a modern version. They used to be longer and less "sombrero-like") if they could afford it, and the rest would be a simple pair of pants and a shirt, and some shoes (nothing fancy, of course).This would be a good representation:Sources:https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huasohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch...http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?...Although most of it came from notes of History of Chile classes I had with a PhD.
