EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "Following The Fashion" by the talented artist James Gillray, takes us back to the year 1794. In this illustrative technique of engraving, we are introduced to two women who represent contrasting ideals of beauty and style during that era. On the left side stands a tall and slim woman, exuding elegance and grace. She embodies St. James's Giving The Ton - a soul without a body. Her refined appearance reflects the high society's obsession with fashion as an expression of status and refinement. In contrast, on the right side is a short and fat woman who humorously represents Cheapside Aping The Mode - a body without a soul. With exaggerated features, she satirizes those who blindly imitate new trends without understanding their true essence or meaning. Through this artwork, Gillray cleverly criticizes societal attitudes towards fashion while highlighting its influence on individuals' self-perception. This historic piece not only showcases traditional clothing styles but also provides insight into cultural values prevalent at that time. The nostalgic charm of this antique print transports us to an era where fashion was both revered and ridiculed simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, our desire for self-expression through clothing has remained constant despite evolving trends. As we admire this retro-styled masterpiece from 1815 engraved in 1794 by Gillray himself, it invites us to reflect upon how our perception of beauty has changed over time while appreciating the artistry behind such historic works
