EDITORS COMMENTS
A Rain-beau: A Fashionable Gentleman of the 1790s This print, titled "A Rain-beau," depicts a fashionable man of the late 18th century, dressed in the height of style during the 1790s. The man wears a cocked hat, tilted at a rakish angle, adorned with a rosette and a plume. His cutaway coat, with its high collar and long tails, is fastened with a pair of silver buttons, while his tight breeches and striped stockings complete the ensemble. Hanging from his waist are various fobs, each one showcasing a different accessory - a watch, a snuffbox, and a set of seals. The man's left eye is covered by a monocle, adding an air of mystery and sophistication to his appearance. The print, created in 1790, is a testament to the extravagant and intricate fashion trends of the time. However, this print is not just a mere representation of fashion. With its satirical tone, "A Rain-beau" pokes fun at the excessive adornments and affectations of the fashionable gentleman. The man's umbrella, held upside down, suggests that he is more concerned with his appearance than with the rain that is falling around him. The title "A Rain-beau" itself is a playful nod to the French word "beau," meaning beautiful, and the English word "rain," highlighting the absurdity of the man's focus on his appearance in the face of inclement weather. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and the satirical commentary on the excesses of the time. With its intricate details and witty commentary, "A Rain-beau" remains a captivating and intriguing piece of historical art.
