Parasols for 1795 - A Satirical Take on Fashion in the Eighteenth Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "Parasols for 1795" offers a humorous glimpse into the world of fashion during the eighteenth century. Created by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) and published in London in 1905, this illustration is part of a collection called "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century". The image showcases an exaggerated scene where men and women are seen strolling through a park, adorned with enormous parasols that seem to defy gravity. The artist's satirical touch becomes evident as he playfully mocks the extravagant fashion trends of the time. Women take center stage, their dresses billowing outwards with layers upon layers of fabric. Their hats are adorned with feathers so large they threaten to topple over at any moment. Meanwhile, men can be seen accompanying these fashionable ladies, equally dressed up but seemingly overshadowed by their female counterparts. Through this whimsical portrayal, Paston highlights both the allure and absurdity surrounding fashion choices during this era. The monochrome palette adds depth to each character's intricate attire while emphasizing their larger-than-life presence. "Parasols for 1795" serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found joy in poking fun at societal norms and expressing themselves through satire. This timeless piece continues to captivate viewers today with its clever commentary on fashion culture from long ago.
