From Britannia and Eve magazine, November 1936, to the Grenadiers and Light Infantry of the Worcestershire Regiment in duty attire, the shrug has made its mark throughout history. Whether it be a standing nude facing forward or a high-collared black pelerine from c. 1890-1900, this versatile garment has always been in vogue. Fashions of the hour for tall and medium figures in 1912 showcased the elegance of a well-executed shrug. Even during WW1, caricatures like Sir John French as a Frenchman couldn't resist its charm. Fashion at the theatre in 1912 was incomplete without an exquisite shrug adorning elegant ladies' shoulders. Traveling back further to April 1808 with Thomas Rowlandson's depiction of a Frenchman wearing his distinctive shrug reminds us that this trend is not bound by time or borders. Miss Muriel Pratt beautifully portrayed Fanny in Hindle Wakes - Rowley Smart while donning her own unique version of this fashionable accessory. Even men have embraced the allure of shoulder and arm movement captured through artwork such as C016 / 6788 and C016 / 6787. Whether it's adding flair to an outfit or expressing nonchalance through body language, there's no denying that the artistry behind a well-placed shrug is timeless.
