EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, dated October 18, 1781, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion during the late 18th century in Britain. The image features both a male and female figure, each depicted in front, side, and back views. The woman on the left is shown gracefully running with the latest fashion trends, accompanied by a pair of "turf-bred crops" - a type of riding crop that was popular among the fashionable elite at the time. Her elegant attire, consisting of a fitted dress and a fashionable hat adorned with feathers, reflects the refined taste and sophistication of the era. On the right side of the print, a man is depicted in a similar pose, but with a pair of "high-bred crops" - a reference to the high-heeled shoes that were considered fashionable for men during this period. However, in contrast to the woman, the man appears to be overtaken by fashion, as if struggling to keep up with the latest trends. His disheveled appearance and unkempt hair suggest that he may have been reluctant to adopt the new fashionable styles. The print's use of humor and satire is evident in the contrast between the two figures and their respective attitudes towards fashion. The juxtaposition of the woman effortlessly embracing the latest trends and the man being left behind adds to the overall intrigue and amusement of the image. This print provides a unique insight into the fashionable world of the late 18th century and the role that crops played in expressing one's social status and personal style.
