[Cameo] Brooch, ca. 1860

PERIOD: Circa 1860

DIMENSIONS: 2.5 × 2 × 0.38 in. (6.4 × 5.1 × 1 cm)

Monmouth County Historical Society, New Jersey

A large oval cameo brooch, depicting a kneeling child in prayer, with a tree at left. The cameo is held in a plain gold setting with a pin and open loop closure back.

Cameos have been popular since ancient Egypt and have been made of a variety of materials. During the nineteenth century, shell cameos were particularly popular for both women's and men's jewelry. The large oval cameo in the Association's collection is carved from shell, using the different colors within the shell itself for depth and contrast. A brooch of this type would have been worn at the neck of a woman's gown, offset by a decorative lace or embroidered collar.

This brooch was donated to the Historical Association by Elizabeth Casler West (1870 - 1949). A lifelong Middletown resident, Casler West was the daughter of William T. and Isabella Van de Vort Casler. At the time of the donation, Casler stated that the cameo pin had belonged to Elizabeth Conover of Monmouth County.

A vision in blue! This 1865 gown is deep azure shot with glass beads for an extra bit of glitter.

The neckline on this is classic young Victoria, with those cap sleeves and the emphasized waist. I love the matching trim on the hem and sleeves, which really brings the whole ensemble together. Rather understated in comparison to some gowns from this era it's got a classic beauty to it.

People often ask why dresses were so big in this period. It's important to remember that fabric = wealth (and portable too!). Fabric, until fairly recently, was an ideal way to flaunt your status. Using miles and miles of cloth (see: the Rococo Period) is a societal short hand for $$$.

From the Cincinnati Art Museum.

June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabama’s loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.
