EDITORS COMMENTS
A Rain-beau: Fashionable Dandy in Rainy Weather, c. 1790s This print, titled "A Rain-beau," showcases a fashionable young man braving the rain with an air of nonchalant elegance. Dressed in the height of 1790s fashion, he wears a tall pilgrim or Puritan-style hat, a striped waistcoat, and tight breeches. His short boots reveal striped stockings, adding a pop of color to his outfit. Despite the inclement weather, the Rain-beau carries a parasol or umbrella, not for protection from the rain, but rather as a sign of his dandyish status. Parasols and umbrellas were popular accessories among men of fashion during this period, serving more as a symbol of refinement and leisure than practicality. The Rain-beau's posture exudes confidence and self-assuredness, as he strides forward with an upturned collar and a determined expression. His outfit, while fashionable, is also a target for satire and caricature. The print's title, "A Rain-beau," is a playful nod to the French term "beau," meaning handsome, and the rainy weather, highlighting the absurdity of the man's fashion choices. This print offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and the role of dandies and their extravagant accessories. The Rain-beau's outfit, while impractical for the rain, was a statement of wealth, status, and style. The print also serves as a reminder of the importance of appearance and the role of satire in commenting on societal trends and fads.
