EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Characters in High Life. . . 1795" takes us back to the elegant world of 18th-century Britain. The image, sketched at The New Rooms Opera House, beautifully captures the essence of high society during this era. Intriguingly, the print serves a dual purpose - it is not only a delightful form of entertainment but also an educational tool for teaching young individuals how to shoot. This unique combination reflects the multifaceted nature of life in those times. The fashion choices showcased in this image are truly remarkable. Both men and women are dressed impeccably, donning extravagant attire that epitomizes luxury and sophistication. The women's headdresses adorned with ostrich feathers add an extra touch of glamour to their already stunning appearance. The couple depicted here exudes social class and refinement as they engage in conversation or perhaps enjoy a performance at the opera house. Their fashionable outfits perfectly reflect their status within high society. This fascinating caricature offers us a glimpse into the vibrant entertainment scene of eighteenth-century Britain. It reminds us that even amidst strict social hierarchies, people found joy and amusement through various forms of art and culture. As we admire this exquisite print by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the allure and grandeur of high life during one of history's most fascinating centuries.
