EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a gentleman's dark green umbrella from the 1790s, crafted with exquisite attention to detail. Made of cotton, whalebone, and ivory, this accessory epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of Georgian fashion. The handle bears an intriguing inscription that reads: "Ye rain it raineth every day upon ye just and unjust fellow. But chiefly on ye just because ye unjust has ye justs umbrellow". The ornate carving and whimsical design of this umbrella reflect British humor and wit prevalent during the era. With its stylish appearance, this accessory not only served as protection against inclement weather but also conveyed a moral message about fairness in society. Interestingly, the handle's inscription suggests that even though rain falls indiscriminately on both righteous and unrighteous individuals, it seems to target the virtuous more frequently due to their possession of an umbrella. This playful rhyme adds a touch of eccentricity to an already remarkable piece. Housed in the Fashion Museum Bath, this artifact offers us a glimpse into Jane Austen's world where gentlemen would have carried such accessories as they strolled through Regency England. Its intricate craftsmanship serves as a reminder of bygone times when fashion was not merely about style but also about conveying messages through unique embellishments. As we admire this stolen moment frozen in time through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded that art can be found not only in paintings or sculptures but also within everyday objects like umbrellas – each telling its own
