EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the annals of 18th century fashion history depicts a young, dandyish man, derisively referred to as a 'Macaroni,' in the height of his pompous and foppery splendor. Dating back to circa 1773, this dapper, shallow, and irritating character exudes an air of self-importance and affected sophistication. With his powdered wig, extravagant attire, and smirking, suppressed giggle, this Macaroni embodies the excesses and absurdities of the era's social elite. The Macaroni was a type of dandy, known for his extravagant and flamboyant style, which was influenced by the latest fashion trends from Italy. These men sought to distinguish themselves from the common folk through their elaborate and ostentatious appearance, often adorning themselves with the finest silks, satins, and laces. They also affected affected airs and graces, speaking in affected tones and using elaborate gestures. Despite their shallow and irritating demeanor, the Macaronis were a popular subject of satire and amusement during the 18th century. This print serves as a reminder of a time when fashion and social status were more important than substance, and when the pursuit of vanity and affectation reigned supreme. The Macaroni's smirk and suppressed giggle speak volumes about his character, and serve as a reminder of the superficiality and frivolity of the time.
