EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1869 with this fascinating print titled "Satire on Fashions." This piece captures a moment in history when flashy, tight trousers and fancy broad-shouldered jackets were all the rage for men, while women adorned themselves with polonaise dresses, short skirts, panniers, and false hair. The artist behind this satire cleverly mocks the absurdity of these exaggerated fashion trends of the Victorian era.
In a society where appearance was everything, individuals went to great lengths to adhere to the latest styles and fads. However, this print serves as a reminder that sometimes fashion can be taken too far, resulting in comical outcomes. Men are depicted as victims of their own vanity with their outlandish attire, while women are shown struggling under the weight of their elaborate hairstyles and cumbersome garments.
Through humor and wit, this artwork sheds light on the ridiculousness of societal expectations surrounding fashion during this time period. It is a playful commentary on how people will go to extremes in order to fit in and be considered fashionable. Take a closer look at "Satire on Fashions" and immerse yourself in the intricate details that make up this historical snapshot captured by Mary Evans Picture Library.
