The Feathered Fair in a Fright, 18th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical scene from the past, where women with extravagant feathered hairdos find themselves in a comical predicament. In this illustration by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) and John Collet, we witness an amusing chase between these fashionable ladies and a group of angry ostriches who are determined to reclaim their feathers. The image transports us back to 18th-century Britain, showcasing the elaborate dress and fashion trends of the time. The women's fear is palpable as they frantically flee from the towering ostriches, their hairstyles bouncing wildly with each step. It's hard not to chuckle at this satirical portrayal of people being chased by animals that desire nothing more than their own plumage. With its monochrome palette adding a touch of nostalgia, this print exemplifies the humor and wit prevalent in social caricature during that era. The exaggerated expressions on both human and avian faces evoke laughter while also highlighting societal norms surrounding beauty and fashion. As we admire this delightful artwork, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not only the creativity of its creators but also provides insight into the cultural nuances and satire prevalent in 18th-century Britain.
