EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Too Much and Too Little, Summer Clothing for 1556 and 1796" by George Moutard Woodward takes us on a journey through time, offering a humorous and satirical glimpse into the fashion trends of two distinct eras. The artwork showcases two women side by side, one representing the year 1556 and the other embodying the style of 1796. The stark contrast between their attire is immediately apparent. The woman from 1556 dons an elaborate Tudor dress with intricate lace details, a high collar, and an extravagant feathered headdress. In contrast, her counterpart from 1796 wears a simpler Georgian gown adorned with minimal accessories. Woodward's illustration cleverly highlights society's evolving fashion tastes over centuries. It invites viewers to compare these contrasting styles while also poking fun at both extremes. The exaggerated features in each outfit add an element of caricature to the scene, emphasizing the artist's satirical intentions. Originally featured in Eduard Fuchs' book "Die Frau in der Karikatur" this print offers not only entertainment but also serves as a historical reference point for understanding changing cultural norms throughout British history. Through this artwork, we can appreciate how clothing choices reflect societal values and attitudes towards beauty across different epochs. Overall, this lithograph provides an intriguing visual commentary on fashion evolution while showcasing Woodward's artistic skill in capturing humor within historical context.
