EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Satire on Walpole, 1738" takes us back to the 18th century in England. The image showcases a scene filled with political satire and flamboyant costumes of the time. The men depicted are dressed in wide-skirted frock coats, while their wigs, although smaller than those worn in the previous century, still make a bold statement. In the foreground of this intriguing composition stands a prominent figure - Sir Robert Walpole, an influential statesman who served as Britain's first Prime Minister. He is portrayed amidst chaos and controversy, symbolized by the burning fire at his feet. A mischievous dog adds an element of whimsy to the scene as it gazes curiously at its surroundings. The artist behind this thought-provoking print is Emily Jessie Ashdown, whose attention to detail captures both historical accuracy and artistic flair. Through her work, she invites viewers to reflect on the politics and social dynamics of 18th-century England. Accompanied by Mrs Charles H Ashdown's book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" this print provides a glimpse into fashion trends that shaped British society during that era. It serves as a reminder of how clothing choices can be used not only for self-expression but also as tools for commentary on power structures within society. Overall, this print offers a fascinating blend of history, artistry, and political satire – inviting us to explore the complexities of English culture in
