EDITORS COMMENTS
An Intriguing Scene from 1786: Jonas Hanway, the Pioneer of the Modern Umbrella in London This print from 1786, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts an inquisitive and startled figure, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, holding an umbrella with a distinctive long handle and a large canopy. The man, identified as Jonas Hanway, is the pioneer of the modern umbrella in London, a groundbreaking invention that would soon revolutionize the way people protected themselves from the elements. Hanway, a philanthropist and social reformer, was an intriguing character in 18th-century London. He was known for his charitable work, particularly his efforts to improve the lives of the city's homeless population. However, his most enduring legacy is the umbrella. According to legend, Hanway was seen carrying an umbrella in public, an unusual sight at the time, and was often ridiculed for his peculiar behavior. Undeterred, Hanway continued to use his umbrella, eventually inspiring others to follow suit. The umbrella in the print is a testament to the early design of Hanway's invention. The long handle allowed the user to hold the umbrella at a distance, keeping their clothes dry while navigating the crowded streets of London. The large canopy provided ample coverage from the rain, making the umbrella an essential accessory for the fashionable and the practical alike. This print, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when an ordinary umbrella was an extraordinary invention. Hanway's pioneering spirit and his determination to make a difference, no matter how small, continue to inspire us today.
