A Stroll Down Memory Lane: Contrasting Promenades of the Past and Present - A Satirical Look at Fashion and Manners This photograph print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time, inviting us to compare the old and new ways of promenading along the Old Heath, circa 1830. The image offers a satirical commentary on the manners and fashions of two generations, with an emphasis on the overblown proportions of tiny waists, huge hats, and gigot sleeves. On the left side of the image, we find ourselves in the midst of the past, where ladies don elaborate costumes, complete with bonnets adorned with flowers and ribbons, and trains that trail behind them. Their waists are cinched so tightly that they appear almost nonexistent, while their skirts billow out, revealing the intricate designs of their petticoats. The gentlemen, too, are dressed in the height of fashion, with their top hats and tailcoats. On the right side of the image, we are introduced to the new promenaders, who, despite their modern attire, seem to be paying homage to the old ways. The women's hats have grown in size, while their skirts have shortened, but their corsets remain a constant. The men, too, have adopted the trend of wearing top hats, albeit with a more casual air. This photograph print offers a humorous and insightful look at how fashion and manners have evolved over time, highlighting the absurdities and contradictions of each era. The overblown proportions of the old-fashioned garments serve as a reminder of the extravagance and excess that once defined promenading culture, while the new-fashioned promenaders offer a nod to the past, even as they embrace the future.
