EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "A Masquerading Governor" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into an intriguing moment in history. This print, created by the American School in the 19th century, showcases a governor who has embraced the spirit of masquerade and donned an elaborate costume. Dressed up in a transvestite outfit, complete with a magnificent hat and ornate dress, this British colonial governor challenges societal norms through cross-dressing. The image is taken from Edwards Ellis' History of the United States and provides insight into the fashion trends and cultural practices of that era. As we explore this artwork further, it becomes evident that it represents more than just fancy dress or mere entertainment. It symbolizes rebellion against established conventions and offers a unique perspective on gender roles during that time period. This lithograph serves as a reminder of America's rich history and its continuous struggle for individual expression within societal boundaries. It also highlights the influence of European culture on early American society. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness how individuals challenged social norms while leaving an indelible mark on American history.
