EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Well-a-day! Is this my son Tom!, 1770" captures a moment of utter astonishment and disbelief in the 18th century. The image, part of the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" showcases an exaggerated scene filled with surprise and shock. In the picture, a dandy-like young man stands before his father, who is dressed more conservatively. The son's elaborate hairstyle, fashionable clothes, and extravagant hat reflect the macaroni style popular at that time. His appearance leaves his father utterly amazed as he exclaims, "Well-a-day! Is this my son Tom!". The illustration serves as a satirical commentary on changing fashion trends and societal norms during that era. It highlights how younger generations often embraced new styles that were considered outrageous or unconventional by their elders. Adding to the whimsical nature of the image is a sword held by the young man. This weapon symbolizes both war and masculinity but also adds to his overall flamboyant appearance. Created by George Paston under her pseudonym Emily Morse Symonds in 1905, this print offers us a glimpse into eighteenth-century British society through its humorous depiction of family dynamics and evolving fashion choices.
