EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the fashion scene of 18th-century London. Titled "Taste a la mode in 1748 compared with that in 1711" it offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolving style and taste of this era. The image showcases two women, elegantly dressed, representing the fashion trends of their respective years. On the left, we see a lady from 1748, exuding sophistication and refinement. Her dress is adorned with intricate details, showcasing her impeccable taste. The round hoops underneath her skirt create an exaggerated silhouette that was all the rage during this period. In contrast, on the right side stands a woman representing the fashion of 1711. Her attire reflects an earlier era's style sensibilities - simpler yet still elegant. The absence of hoops under her skirt suggests a more modest approach to fashion at that time. This engraving not only captures these two distinct moments in history but also invites us to ponder how societal changes influenced fashion choices over time. It serves as a reminder that clothing has always been an expression of individuality and cultural shifts. Through this artwork by English School from the Peter Jackson Collection, we are transported into an enchanting world where poetry meets street scenes and where Sir Richard Steele's words come alive: "Fashion is so variable. . . that it is difficult for any one Age or Nation to fix upon what should be called its peculiar Taste.
