The Flight of Fashion,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a satirical cartoon published in 1829, offers a humorous commentary on the extravagance and absurdity of fashion trends during the 1820s. This intriguing print, held by The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library) from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases two distinct scenes that lampoon the fashionable society of the time. In the first scene, titled "A Peep at Hop-Tons," we witness a group of fashionable women, each attempting to board a tiny "Hop-ton," a whimsical flying contraption. The women, dressed in voluminous skirts and elaborate hats, struggle to climb aboard, their elaborate attire causing chaos and confusion. This scene satirically highlights the impracticality and excess of fashionable clothing during the era. The second scene, titled "Grappling, Expansion, Escape, Descent, Buoyant," depicts a chaotic scene in the air. The Hop-tons, now filled beyond capacity, begin to collide and tangle in mid-air. Women are shown grappling with each other, trying to escape the chaos, while some have already plunged into the water below. This scene satirically portrays the frenzy and desperation that could ensue when people prioritize fashion over safety and common sense. The imaginative and fanciful nature of "The Flight of Fashion" offers a unique glimpse into the societal norms and values of the 1820s. The print's humorous commentary on fashion and transportation serves as a reminder of the absurdities and excesses that have shaped human behavior throughout history. This satirical cartoon, with its intricate detail and clever commentary, continues to captivate and entertain viewers more than 190 years after its creation.
