EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Monstrosity of 1829: 'Lo this is their very guise', 1829" captures the essence of fashion and satire in the 19th century. Attributed to William Heath Paul Pry, a British artist from London, this piece showcases his talent for exaggeration and social commentary. In this full-length etching, we see a woman dressed in an exaggerated manner that reflects the ridiculousness of fashion trends during that era. Her clothing is adorned with lace and vibrant colors, symbolizing the extravagance often associated with high society. The hat she wears adds to her monstrosity, towering above her head with intricate details. It serves as a satirical representation of how fashion can sometimes become absurd and over-the-top. This artwork is not just about showcasing clothing; it also delves into deeper concepts such as societal norms and expectations placed upon women at that time. By highlighting these elements through humor and exaggeration, Paul Pry invites viewers to question the standards imposed on individuals based on their appearance. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to both historical heritage and artistic expression. It reminds us that even centuries ago, artists like William Heath Paul Pry used their craft to challenge conventions and shed light on societal issues through clever satire.
