The Bird of Paradise, 1772
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the elegant fashion of the 18th century in Britain. The image showcases a woman adorned in exquisite attire, highlighting the intricate details of her clothes and accessories. The lady's dress exudes sophistication with its delicate lace embellishments and refined silhouette. Her bonnet sits gracefully atop her head, complementing her elaborate hairstyle. Every element of her ensemble speaks volumes about the fashion trends prevalent during this era. Intriguingly, the title "The Bird of Paradise" adds an air of mystery to the photograph. Perhaps it alludes to how women were perceived as exotic creatures or objects of desire during that time period. The juxtaposition between nature (the bird) and society (the lady) raises questions about societal expectations placed upon women in this era. This remarkable illustration by George Paston, also known as Emily Morse Symonds under a pseudonym, offers us a glimpse into the world of social caricature in the 18th century. With over two hundred illustrations featured in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" this particular piece stands out for its attention to detail and artistic finesse. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from "The Print Collector" we are transported back to an age where fashion was not merely clothing but an expression of status and identity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these images continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless beauty
