EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Choice Spirit & Buck,' dates back to the Regency era of 1790. The image showcases a dashing yet disheveled gentleman, dressed in the height of fashionable attire for the time, with an air of nonchalant charm. The man, identified as a 'buck,' wears a bicorne hat tilted at a rakish angle, a crisp white cravat adorned with a seal, and a finely tailored coat. Despite his fashionable appearance, the man's demeanor suggests a dissipated and carefree spirit. He carries a cudgel tucked under his arm, an accessory that hints at his unpredictable nature and propensity for mischief. The buck's watch dangles from his waistcoat, its golden casing glinting in the light, adding an element of sophistication to his rugged appearance. The Directoire period, characterized by its elegant yet simple style, is reflected in the man's outfit. The bicorne hat, a popular choice among the French military and fashionable men of the time, adds a touch of Continental flair to his ensemble. The buck's disheveled hair, messy cravat, and casual posture contrast sharply with the refined elements of his attire, creating a striking balance of form and function. This print captures the essence of the Regency buck - a man of fashion and mischief, who embodies the spirit of the era with his dashing good looks and carefree attitude.
