EDITORS COMMENTS
The etching "Six Stages of Mending a Face, 1792" by Thomas Rowlandson offers a satirical glimpse into the world of beauty and vanity in the late 18th century. The print depicts Lady Archer's transformation from a disheveled and aging woman to an attractive young lady through various stages of her toilet. In the first stage, Lady Archer is shown wearing a night-cap with unsightly pendent breasts, tears streaming down from her empty eye-socket. However, as we progress through the stages, we witness her gradual metamorphosis. She fits in an artificial eye, places a wig on her bald head, inserts false teeth into her toothless jaws, and applies rouge to her cheeks using a hares foot while holding up a mirror. By the final stage on the left side of the print, Lady Archer has completely transformed herself into a pretty young woman. Her arms have become smooth and rounded while her pendulous breasts are now covered with fashionable gauze drapery. Holding a mask in one hand symbolizes both the illusion she has created and perhaps also hints at hiding behind societal expectations. Rowlandson's etching serves as social commentary on society's obsession with appearance and its willingness to go to great lengths to achieve beauty standards. It reminds us that even centuries ago people were preoccupied with their physical appearance and willing to undergo drastic measures for self-improvement.
