EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FASHION: CORSET, 1777. Tight Lacing or Hold Fast Behind" takes us back to the late 18th century in England, where fashion trends were both fascinating and satirized. Created by Matthew Darly, an English cartoon engraver known for his witty depictions of society's quirks, this artwork humorously critiques women's fashion and hairstyles of the time. In this scene set in a luxurious bedchamber, we witness a couple engaging in an amusing struggle with a corset. The woman is depicted wearing an elaborate head dress and a high-waisted gown tightly laced with a corset that accentuates her figure. Meanwhile, her partner attempts to assist her by pulling on the laces from behind. The image cleverly highlights the extreme measures women would go through to achieve fashionable silhouettes during this era. It also reflects societal expectations imposed upon them to conform to certain beauty standards. With intricate details such as the textile patterns on the canopy above their bed and carefully curled hairdos adorning their heads, every element in this engraving showcases the upper-class extravagance prevalent at that time. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, which focuses on historical moments captured through artistry, this print serves as not only a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into past cultural practices and social commentary surrounding fashion choices for women during the late 18th century in England.
