EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Habits of English Gentlemen in the Years 1735,1745 and 1755" offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of 18th-century England. The print, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, showcases various styles of clothing worn by gentlemen during this period. The image is part of a larger collection called "Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations" which translates to "Collection of Costumes from Different Nations". Published in London in 1757 by Thomas Jefferys, this compilation drew inspiration from renowned artists such as Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, and others. In the picture, we see men adorned in elegant attire consisting of breeches, coats, waistcoats, hats (including cocked hats and tricorns), wigs, and walking sticks. These garments were considered fashionable among English gentlemen at that time. The attention to detail in depicting each element reflects both artistic skill and historical accuracy. Notably influenced by German culture and European fashion trends prevalent during that era, these ensembles showcase a blend of British style with continental influences. This fusion highlights the interconnectedness between different nations' sartorial choices during this period. Overall, this engraving provides us with valuable insights into the dress habits of English gentlemen during three specific years: 1735,1745, and 1755. It serves as a visual testament to the ever-evolving nature of fashion while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate the elegance and sophistication associated with aristocratic society in Georgian England.
