Travelers recount a Granada New Year linked to the Toma festival. Crowds gather at the Ayuntamiento and Royal Chapel as the procession forms, with soldiers and city officials in view. The narrative notes Ferdinand and Isabella resting on alabaster sepulchers in the chapel.
The narrative recalls the Toma of Granada with pomp at the Plaza del Carmen and a flag ceremony by Mendoza. Readers revisit the Alhambra’s Court of Lions, Hall of Ambassadors, and Linda raja gardens as crowds celebrate, amid English visitors and courtly memory.
A Paris authority endorses lengthy velvet coats with a skunk fur trimmed collar and skirt finish. Color lining suggestions include jade green or powder blue crepe de chine, black chiffon veiling, ivory lace, with silk embroidery and a bold enamel button. Accessory notes feature a large skunk muff, fur necklet, and satin cockade rosette.
A detailed description of velvet ribbon neckpieces in French green old blue caffron or solferino, featuring a bow with Irish crochet ends, decorative flowers, and multiple collar bands. A black velvet piece with tiny ribbon roses completes the set, illustrating color-focused accessory design in high fashion.
A simple rack design shown for hanging brushes with a wooden base half an inch thick. The surface is blue art linen with a white flax pattern, brass hooks on each side, blue and white cord edging, and two rings at the top for wall suspension. A center hook adds space for a cab whistle or button hook.
Lace fittings are widely distributed again on new dresses with a vogue toward large lace. Fringe will appear on most afternoon and evening wear including parasols and hats.
Pearls now appear from inside collars as rows rest next to the skin for luster. Earlier, pearls were worn outside high collars, but a new style places them near the neck and partly over the collar front. This vogue gains traction from the belief that pearls keep their exquisite luster when in contact with the skin.
An article notes orange returning to prominence in trims and millinery, especially for evening wear, with peach undertones and contrasts like sable or brown marabout, and pairs that enhance purple and violet tones for regal ensembles.
