An amazone (female equestrian) by the clothier Humann, hand-coloured lithograph in La Mode, 5 April 1843 (Rijksmuseum). The masculine tailoring of her riding costume is traditional, but I think there is a hint of something thrilling and transgressive to an 1840s audience. ("Women riding horseback were still a rare sight, and for a woman to ride unaccompanied by a man was considered scandalous": Met Museum commentary on Gustave Corbet's painting L'Amazone).
What struck me about this fashion plate was its resemblance to a popular print described by Albert Smith in The Natural History of the Gent (1847):
It represented a young lady something between a hairdresser's dummy and a barmaid, with a man's coat and hat on over her own dress. She was looking through an eye-glass at the top of a whip, and underneath was written "damme!"—why, or wherefore, or in what relation to the singular mode of toilet she has adopted, or what the word itself meant in the abstract, we never could make out. But the Gents seemed to know all about it, and bought the picture furiously.
The whip, hat, and masculine coat all suggest a riding habit (although not the shorter skirt, since riding skirts were even longer to provide complete coverage). Damme that's an 1840s look!

I started to learn how to do linocutting and printmaking a couple months ago & finally made a big print! It’s inspired by the townspumpkins from Pottsfield in Over the Garden Wall. This portrait is from the Victorian era and this guy is the mystical Uncle Silas. 🎃🍂✨
