At first glance this 1905 evening gown designed by Lucile and entitled ‘A Protest’ appears to be just a pretty dress, if not with a slightly unusual name and color combination. The whole truth is far more interesting.

I wrote a while back about the Victorian practice of using different colors or gemstones to spell out messages in jewelry. This dress uses the same practice on a larger scale.

The color combination of (g)reen, (w)hite and (v)iolet would have sent a very specific message to any one in the know.

Specifically: (G)ive (W)omen the (V)ote.

This is a suffragette ball gown!

List of my '30 Photos' series

This tumblr doesn't have a theme other than it's a place for me to post whatever strikes my fancy.

For example:

The Avengers:
(and all its stars)

Henry Cavill:

Max Brown:

Supernatural:

Haven:

Hawaii Five-0:

In addition, I'll also post pictures other pretty men, art/paintings that I like, things that are purple (my favorite color), song lyrics, poems, the cover art to books I've bought or are currently reading, videos and many, many other things.

NOTE: Just a little warning...my posting habits have become pretty erratic lately. Some days I post maybe once or twice, other days I go wild and post a bunch of stuff at one time, be it screencaps, art, vintage images, Red Sox pics or just random stuff. You know, whatever I'm in the mood to post. Just thought I'd put that out there for any potential new followers. ;)

A bit about me: I'm in my 30's, I'm American, and I like reading, sleeping, the Boston Red Sox, Supernatural, Haven, Hawaii Five-0, and The Walking Dead.

Anything else that you'd like to know, just ask. :D Ask me anything!

My other Tumblr: Unofficial Max Brown

I'm also a contributor at Glorious, glorious Regency and Elisabeth Musical.
