EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the extravagant fashion of the 18th century in Britain. The image, created by an unknown artist but included in the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" showcases George Paston's pseudonym, Emily Morse Symonds' talent for illustration. In this monochrome scene, we are transported to London's renowned Greenwich Park. The exaggerated clothing worn by both men and women immediately catches our attention. Women don enormous dresses with hoods and parasols, while men sport elaborate coats and hats. It is evident that fashion was not just about style but also about making a statement during this era. The sheer size of their attire emphasizes the concept of opulence prevalent among high society at that time. As they stroll through the park, these individuals exude confidence and extravagance. The setting itself adds to the allure of the image - Greenwich Park serves as a backdrop for this fashionable parade. Its lush greenery provides contrast against their black and white ensembles, creating a visually striking composition. This print offers us a glimpse into 18th-century British society, where appearance was paramount. Through George Paston's illustrations, we can appreciate how fashion played an essential role in defining one's status within society during this period.
