отгадка
А ответ на вопрос "что за диковинка чудная была представлена на предыдущей картинке" причудлив и удивителен, хотя кого-от он, может быть, и разочарует. Мне кажется, очень сложно было бы несведущему, хотя и начитанному, человеку догадаться об истином назначении данного прибора. И все версии были достойными на существование и восхищение фантазией знатока.
It is actually errand boy, or page, or skirt lifter English. A chain on the same metal or silk cord allowed to hang the creek jump belt skirt or dress and thus free the hands.
They could be silver, gold, bronze or silver, to form single or worked with various representations (flowers, woman's head, bird, fan, pleasurable, and for the top two rods ending in small circles with upholstered a 'foam' of varying size. The whole system is based on a pliers, opened and closed by sliding mostly along the stems.
In a difficult passage, the lady gently took his hands and chain on and raised the hem of her skirt without having to stoop, which was considered indecent for the time. The height appears to vary but it was mainly positioned in the middle of the height of the skirt.
It`s skirt lifter!!
Дабы дама могла оставаться элегантной и выглядеть утонченной в момент необходимости приподнять краешек своей одежды.
Другая эпоха, господа!
