EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satirical illustration titled 'Such things are, That such things are we must allow, but such things never were till now' from 1787. The artwork is part of the book 'Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century' by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), published in London in 1905. The image humorously mocks the unflattering fashion trends of the time. It depicts a British woman wearing an extravagant dress with a dumpy waistline, adorned with feathers including an ostentatious ostrich feather headdress. The exaggerated proportions and excessive ornamentation serve as metaphors for the absurdity and lack of taste prevalent in contemporary fashion. Through this caricature, the artist criticizes women who blindly follow these trends, becoming fashion victims rather than expressing their individuality. The monochrome composition adds to its timeless appeal while highlighting details like the lady's hat and muff. This historical print offers us a glimpse into eighteenth-century Britain's obsession with clothing and societal expectations surrounding appearance. It reminds us that while fashions may change over time, there have always been instances when style outweighs practicality or good taste.
