EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing comparison showcases two distinct umbrellas from different historical periods: an ancient Assyrian royal parasol and Jonas Hanway's innovative umbrella from 1786. The Assyrian parasol, depicted on the left, is a grand and ornate accessory, once used by royalty to shield themselves from the sun's harsh rays as well as rain. The parasol's large canopy is supported by a tall, intricately decorated handle, often adorned with precious stones and metals. In contrast, the umbrella on the right, designed by Jonas Hanway, is a revolutionary invention that emerged during the Age of Enlightenment. This compact, foldable umbrella was a game-changer for urban dwellers, enabling them to navigate rain-soaked streets with ease. The umbrella's canopy is made of waterproof fabric, and its handle is more modest, allowing for convenient carrying. The image also features a bicorne hat, a popular headgear during the 18th century, which adds to the overall elegance of the scene. Both umbrellas serve the same essential purpose – sheltering their users from the elements – but their designs reflect the vastly different cultural contexts and technological advancements of their respective eras.
