EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image, titled "FR MAN & WOMAN" and dated 1797, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the working-class men and women of the late 18th century. The print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the typical attire of the time, providing valuable insights into the social and economic realities of the period. The man, dressed in a simple yet functional outfit, wears a long-sleeved shirt, a waistcoat, and trousers. His attire is completed with a sturdy pair of boots and a hat, which not only protected him from the elements but also served as a sign of his working-class status. The man's posture exudes a sense of hardiness and resilience, reflecting the physical demands of his daily labor. The woman, on the other hand, is depicted wearing a high-waisted, full-skirted dress with a fitted bodice and a lace apron. Her hair is styled in a simple yet elegant chignon, and she wears a shawl draped over her shoulders. The woman's attire, while modest and practical, also conveys a sense of femininity and grace. The couple's appearance in this print offers a fascinating window into the fashion and social norms of the late 18th century. Their clothing reflects the economic realities of their working-class status, yet they exude a sense of pride and dignity. This image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of fashion, social history, or the history of everyday life in the late 18th century.
