EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print, titled "Dandies of 1817 and Monstrosities of 1818" takes us back to the vibrant fashion scene of the early 19th century. Created by renowned artist George Cruikshank in 1835, this illustration offers a delightful glimpse into the world of dandyism and societal norms during that era. In this lively depiction, we see a bustling street filled with both men and women strolling along. The gentlemen are adorned in their finest attire, sporting bicorn hats and plumes while exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. These fashionable figures represent the epitome of style for their time, showcasing extravagant clothing choices that were highly sought after. Contrasting these refined dandies are the comical "monstrosities" from 1818 - individuals who deviated from conventional fashion trends. Caricatured with exaggerated features and outlandish outfits, they add a touch of humor to this artistic composition. Amidst all the sartorial splendor, we notice lifeguards in naval uniforms standing tall alongside parasol-wielding ladies. This juxtaposition highlights not only the diversity within society but also reflects how fashion transcends gender boundaries. As we delve into this historical gem from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, it is evident that Cruikshank's keen eye for detail captures both the essence of his subjects' personalities as well as provides valuable insights into societal norms at
