EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of 18th century etiquette and polite society, as a young lady gracefully curtsies on a bustling street. The copperplate engraving, taken from 'The Polite Academy, or Instructions for a Genteel Behaviour and Polite Address in Masters and Misses,' published in London by R. Baldwin in 1759, serves as a testament to the importance of proper manners and comportment during this era. The young lady, dressed in the height of fashionable attire, demonstrates the art of curtsying with poise and elegance, as she acknowledges the passing gentleman with a respectful nod. The intricate details of her gown, with its voluminous skirts and delicate lace, reflect the opulence and refinement of the time. The background of the engraving reveals a lively scene of urban life, with carriages and horse-drawn carts traversing the cobblestone streets, and people of all classes going about their daily business. The contrast between the young lady's genteel behavior and the hustle and bustle of the street underscores the importance of manners and etiquette in maintaining social order and decorum. 'The Polite Academy' was an educational text that provided guidance on proper manners and address for both masters and misses, emphasizing the importance of good behavior and polite conduct in all aspects of life. This image, with its intricate details and nuanced depiction of 18th century society, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of manners and etiquette during this period.
