EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1735, offering a fascinating contrast to the fashion trends of 1745 and 1749. The image captures the essence of 18th-century British society with its satirical portrayal of men and women dressed in elaborate costumes. Created by Louis Philippe Boitard, an influential artist of his time, this etching showcases his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the spirit of the era. In this scene, we see a group of individuals posing in various poses that reflect their vanity and self-importance. The men are clad in extravagant suits adorned with intricate embroidery while the women don elegant dresses with voluminous skirts and ornate accessories. Each character exudes a sense of confidence as they revel in their fashionable attire. The location is believed to be Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, adding historical significance to this snapshot. Evan Davis Davies skillfully captured this moment through his lens, immortalizing these individuals who were undoubtedly part of Britain's elite class during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it serves as a reminder not only of how fashion has evolved but also how societal norms have changed over time. It invites us to ponder on our own perceptions of beauty and style while appreciating the artistry behind capturing such moments from history.
