1790 Alms Begging Cape Charitable Charity Crop Double Habit Pauper Philanthropy Ribbon Rosette Squires Wears Worn Fashionable Masculine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a charitable squire's wife in a fashionable riding habit, exuding an air of elegance and compassion. The masculine cut of her habit, featuring a double cape-collar, is a testament to the androgynous fashion trends of the time. Her top hat, adorned with a large ribbon rosette, adds a touch of refinement to her attire. The squire's wife's long, flowing hair is worn loose, cascading down her back, contrasting the structured lines of her habit. Her expression is one of kindness and empathy, as she reaches out to offer alms to a pauper, further emphasizing her role as a philanthropist and embodiment of 1790s women's charitable endeavors. The double cape-collar of her habit, a popular fashion choice during this era, adds an element of warmth and practicality to her outfit, making it suitable for both riding and charitable pursuits. The crop of her dress, revealing her ankles, is a daring departure from the more modest styles of the time, reflecting the changing fashion landscape of the late 18th century. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of historical fashion, philanthropy, and the role of women in charitable endeavors during the 18th century. The squire's wife's fashionable yet practical attire, combined with her compassionate demeanor, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of kindness and the importance of giving back to those in need.
