EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 18th century Britain, where we find ourselves in a milliner's shop. The focal point of the image is Mrs Monopolize, the wife of a local butcher, who stands at the counter adorned with an array of modern head dresses. It is evident that she is deeply engrossed in selecting her new headdress, as she carefully examines each option before making her final choice. The scene beautifully captures the essence of this era, showcasing not only the fashion trends but also the vibrant trade and occupations that thrived during this time. The skilled hatmaker or milliner can be seen attentively assisting Mrs Monopolize in her decision-making process, displaying their expertise and craftsmanship. With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), this particular print highlights Symonds' talent for social caricature. Through her artistry, she brings to life characters like Mrs Monopolize - strong-willed women who took pride in their appearance despite societal expectations. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that fashion has always played a significant role in people's lives. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals sought out unique ways to express themselves through clothing and accessories.
