EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Stand Coachman, or The Haughty Lady Well Fitted" takes us back to the bustling streets of 1750s Britain. Illustrated by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) in her remarkable book on Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century, this image offers a fascinating insight into the social dynamics of the era. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a lively crowd gathered around a street coachman and a haughty lady. The woman exudes an air of superiority as she stands elegantly beside her coach, impeccably dressed in fashionable attire that reflects her high status. Meanwhile, men and women from various walks of life go about their daily occupations nearby – sweeping the road with brooms or engaging in conversations along the lane. The print not only captures the diversity of people present but also highlights different professions within society during that time. It serves as a reminder that even though gender roles were strictly defined at that period, women like this haughty lady could challenge societal norms by occupying positions traditionally held by men. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era where transportation was still dominated by horse-drawn coaches and where class distinctions were deeply ingrained. This intriguing snapshot invites us to reflect on how society has evolved over time while reminding us of our shared history
