EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical print that takes us back to the fashion-conscious world of 19th-century England. Created by James Gillray and published by Hannah Humphrey in 1800, this hand-coloured etching offers a humorous commentary on the absurdity of societal norms. In this scene, chaos ensues as a lecherous male figure embarks on an outrageous quest to locate the elusive pockets hidden within ladies' skirts. The cartoon-like depiction showcases a group of fashionable women surrounded by sewing materials and millinery creations. Their gowns, shawls, and hats are meticulously detailed, reflecting the epitome of high society's finery. Gillray's social satire cleverly exposes both the ridiculousness and discomfort associated with gender roles and expectations during this era. Through his caricatured characters, he highlights how men would go to extreme lengths just to satisfy their curiosity or indulge in inappropriate behavior. This engraving not only serves as an entertaining piece but also provides valuable insight into historical fashion trends and societal dynamics. It reminds us that even though times have changed significantly since then, certain aspects of human nature remain constant throughout history. Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our own contemporary notions of fashion, gender roles, and social conventions while appreciating Gillray's artistic genius for capturing such complex themes through visual storytelling.
