The dress worn in the portrait above features what is called a "bertha" neckline. It is usually made of lace or another thin fabric. It is generally flat and round, covering the low neckline of a dress, and accentuating a woman's shoulders. A bertha neckline was worn off the shoulders, often trimmed with deep lace (3″ – 6″). The style was most frequently worn by upper- and middle-class women during the Victorian era; a woman from the more common classes would seldom have shown that much flesh.

«Después de haber examinado el despotismo en los libros de los filósofos, quisimos ver su aparición en el mundo. Para distinguirle de todo lo que no fuera él, quisimos averiguar cuál era su forma natural y primitiva; y habiendo observado que siempre que el gobierno es teocrático, el gobierno es despótico, que siempre que hay soberanía directa de Dios, hay esclavitud directa del hombre, nos creímos autorizados para afirmar que la teocracia es la forma natural y primitiva del despotismo en la historia.»
