EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "Houndsditch Macaroni," offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable world of 18th century London. Dated 1772, the image depicts a group of elegantly dressed men, each wearing the latest trend in men's fashion - the Macaroni costume. Named after the Italian city of Macerata, where the style originated, the Macaroni look was characterized by its extravagant and flamboyant elements. The men in this print are seen wearing tight-fitting breeches, knee-length jackets, and silk stockings, all topped off with elaborate waistcoats and knee-length boots. Their hairstyles are equally impressive, with long, flowing locks styled in elaborate curls and adorned with ribbons and feathers. The men also accessorize with canes, gloves, and fashionable hats. The setting of the print is believed to be Houndsditch, a fashionable street in London known for its high-end shops and trendy residents. The men are shown in a lively and animated scene, engaging in conversation and enjoying each other's company. The print captures the essence of the Macaroni subculture, which was all about self-expression, individuality, and a rejection of traditional societal norms. The Macaroni trend was short-lived, but it left a lasting impact on men's fashion. The print serves as a reminder of the extravagance and flamboyance of the 18th century, and the importance of fashion as a means of self-expression and identity. Today, it is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the social and cultural trends of the time.
