EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of fashion and society in early 19th century Britain. This hand-coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson showcases an array of stylish accessories that were popular during this era. In the foreground, we see a group of elegantly dressed women strolling along a promenade. Their empire gowns, with their high waistlines and flowing skirts, epitomize the fashionable attire of the time. Each woman carries a walking stick or parasol, not only as practical aids but also as fashionable accessories to complete their ensemble. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of these women. He captures various body types - from thin to overweight - highlighting the diversity among individuals even within societal norms at that time. The veiled faces add an air of mystery and intrigue to these ladies' personas. The background features round-a-bouts or carousels filled with people enjoying amusement rides – a testament to the leisurely pursuits enjoyed by both men and women during this period. This print offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate how fashion choices reflected social status and cultural trends in early 19th century Britain. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been intertwined with identity expression throughout history.
