The Isis Macaroni, 1772
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant fashion scene of 18th century Britain. Created by artist John Collet and illustrated in Emily Morse Symonds' book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" this image showcases a male figure dressed as an Egyptian deity, Isis. The macaroni, known for their extravagant and flamboyant style, is depicted rowing a boat on the River Nile. His attire reflects his fascination with ancient Egypt, as he dons an elaborate Egyptian headdress adorned with feathers and jewels. The attention to detail in his clothing highlights the opulence of 18th-century fashion. Surrounded by the serene waters of the Nile and its picturesque landscape, this illustration not only captures a moment in time but also represents how fashion can transport individuals to different cultures and eras. It serves as a reminder of Britain's interest in exoticism during this period. Through George Paston's pseudonymously written text accompanying over two hundred illustrations like this one, readers are given insight into social caricatures prevalent at that time. This particular print stands out due to its religious undertones combined with elements of geographical exploration. "The Isis Macaroni" offers viewers a glimpse into both historical dress trends and cultural curiosity within 18th century British society – truly encapsulating an era where artistry met adventure on the banks of the Nile.
