EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Britain. Entitled "Modish and Prudish, December 1,1791" it offers a fascinating insight into the concept of fashion during that era. The image showcases two women adorned in extravagant attire, each representing contrasting styles. The woman on the left embodies modernity and trendiness with her colorful dress and accessories.
