EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "A Fat Macaroni" and dated 1772, offers a humorous glimpse into the world of dandies and fashion trends of the time. The subject of the image, a rather rotund gentleman, proudly dons the latest modes with an air of self-importance. His voluminous wig, styled in the popular "Fontange" curls, frames a face adorned with a trihorn hat, a fashion accessory that was all the rage among the macaroni set. Macaronis were men of fashion, known for their extravagant and often excessive clothing and behavior. They took great pride in their appearance, spending vast sums of money on the latest fashions, which often included items that were impractical or even absurd. The trihorn hat, for example, was a three-pointed hat that was both unwieldy and uncomfortable, yet it was a must-have accessory for any self-respecting macaroni. The bloated figure of the man in the print is a testament to the excessive indulgence that was a hallmark of the macaroni lifestyle. Rich foods, fine wines, and lavish parties were all part of the macaroni experience. This print, with its witty commentary on the excesses of the macaroni subculture, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and social trends. The print is a reminder of a time when fashion was not just about functionality or practicality, but about self-expression and identity. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the dandy, a figure who continues to captivate us with his flamboyant style and nonchalant attitude. This print, with its intriguing subject matter and historical significance, is a must-have for any collector of historical prints or fashion history.
