Description
A man and a woman show off the fashions of 1866 in Bangor. Around them are hat and shoe styles.
John Martin (1823-1904), a Bangor accountant and shopkeeper who was interested in fashion, landscaping and gardening, business practices, architecture, and numerous other topics, wrote and illustrated five volumes in which he reflected on his life and times.
This illustration appears on page 149 of the "Scrap & Sketch Book" he began in 1864. The illustration is followed by a discussion of the fashion and comments on how politics, social life, and fashion had changed by the end of the Civil War.
He wrote under the illustration, "Fashions August 1866, Bangor."
