Gentlemen’s and Lady’s Riding Attire – 1861

Mid-Victorian Equestrian Fashion in El Correo de Ultramar Print

This original mid-19th-century fashion lithograph from 1861, published in the Spanish-language periodical El Correo de Ultramar, showcases elite outdoor equestrian and promenade attire in Paris. The detailed composition depicts a high-society lady and two gentlemen dressed in tailored riding garments amidst a wooded park setting with a horse visible in the background. The central woman wears a structured houndstooth or checkered riding jacket with wide sleeves over a flowing tan walking skirt, holding a delicate riding crop. Her ensemble is completed with a stylish feather-trimmed riding hat and a crisp bow tie, epitomizing the functional yet elegant sports attire of the mid-Victorian era.
