EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photo print, titled "Miss Calash drawn by Miss Calash, 1778" we are transported back to the elegant world of 18th-century Britain. The artist behind this illustration is none other than Miss Calash herself, showcasing her artistic talent and creativity. The focal point of the image is a woman wearing a large folding hood known as a calash. This innovative invention served not only as a fashion statement but also as protection for elaborate hairstyles that were in vogue during that era. The hood covers her head completely, shielding her hair from any potential damage caused by the elements. This artwork is part of the collection "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), published in London in 1905. It offers us an insightful glimpse into the world of satire and social commentary prevalent at that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its charm, emphasizing every intricate detail captured within this piece. As we admire this print, we can't help but appreciate how women's fashion has evolved over time while still valuing practicality and self-expression. Through Miss Calash's artistry and George Paston's curation, we are reminded of the ingenuity present even centuries ago. This image serves as both a testament to historical fashion trends and an appreciation for female creativity throughout history.
