Fashion Follower - A Glimpse into 18th Century Extravagance

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the opulent world of 1796, where fashion knew no bounds. In this delightful caricature drawn by Sewer after James Gillray, we witness a fashionable lady on her way to a grand ball in Britain. Seated comfortably in a sedan chair, she is accompanied by an umbrella holder who dutifully shields the ridiculously high feather perched atop her extravagant hat. The image offers a glimpse into the bizarre and comical aspects of European fashion during this era. The exaggerated proportions and flamboyant attire reflect the excesses that characterized high society at the time. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary, highlighting how individuals would go to great lengths to stand out from the crowd.
