EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the essence of an Englishman from 1790, showcasing the evolution of men's fashion during this historical period. The subject is depicted wearing a wig, which was still in style at the time, but has transitioned to a tail-coat instead of the previously popular skirted coat. The waistcoat is noticeably shorter, adding a modern touch to his ensemble.
Gone are the long trousers, as he now sports black knee-breeches and stockings that were commonly worn by Englishmen of this era. This shift in costume reflects the changing trends and tastes of society during the late 18th century.
The attention to detail in this image allows us to step back in time and appreciate how fashion has evolved over centuries. It serves as a visual reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage.
Whether for educational purposes or simply as a decorative piece, this print offers a glimpse into the past and invites viewers to imagine what life was like for an Englishman living circa 1790. It is a testament to how style and clothing have always played an important role in shaping our identity and sense of self-expression throughout history.
