Beauchamp Bits Changing Fashions Pieces Satirising 1928 January
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

This print captures a satirical drawing by Beauchamp, highlighting the ever-changing female fashions of 1928. The intricate details and clever composition showcase the artist's keen eye for historical accuracy and wit. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to a time when women's fashion was evolving at a rapid pace, with new trends emerging almost daily.
The title "Bits and Pieces" perfectly encapsulates the fragmented nature of fashion during this era - from flapper dresses to cloche hats, each element represents a different facet of 1920s style. Beauchamp masterfully blends humor with social commentary in his depiction of these shifting trends, offering us a glimpse into the complexities of gender roles and societal expectations during that time.
As we study this drawing closely, we can't help but marvel at the attention to detail and historical significance it holds. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has always been intertwined with culture and politics, reflecting broader changes in society.
Overall, this print is not just a visual delight but also an important artifact that sheds light on the nuances of 1920s fashion history. It invites us to ponder on how far we've come since then while also acknowledging the enduring influence of past styles on contemporary design.
