EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "And catch the living manners as they rise, 1794" takes us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Britain. A remarkable illustration from the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" it showcases over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), published in London in 1905. In this image, we are transported to a time when fashion was extravagant and dress was an art form. The concept behind this piece is satire, as it humorously exaggerates the enormous headdress adorned with ostrich feathers worn by a female figure. The man standing beside her also sports an exaggerated headgear, showcasing how both men and women were influenced by flamboyant trends of their era. The attention to detail is striking; every feather seems meticulously placed on these larger-than-life accessories. The monochrome palette adds a touch of elegance while allowing us to focus on the intricate design elements without distraction. Through this print, we gain insight into not only the fashion trends but also the social customs prevalent during that period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people used satire and caricature to comment on society's quirks and idiosyncrasies. As we admire this snapshot from history captured by George Paston (Emily Morse Symonds), let us appreciate its artistic value and recognize how fashion has always been intertwined with self-expression throughout different eras.
