EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Full Dress for 1828 - Dedicated to the Feathered Race" is a delightful and humorous depiction of the extravagant fashion trends of the Georgian era. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a ridiculous and over-the-top costume adorned with plumed feathers. The caricature-like portrayal pokes fun at the fashionable elite who were known for their eccentric clothing choices during this period. The blue ensemble, complete with an abundance of plumes, exemplifies the exaggerated nature of high society's sartorial preferences. Published by Thomas McLean, this artwork captures both the essence of fashion and lampooning as it playfully mocks societal norms. It serves as a satirical commentary on how people clothe themselves in order to conform or stand out within their social circles. The intricate details in this hand-coloured engraving highlight not only the craftsmanship but also its historical significance. This piece offers us a glimpse into an era where fashion was used as a means of expression and status symbolization. Part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork from Bridgeman Images adds charm to any collection or space it graces. It reminds us that art can be both visually captivating and thought-provoking, even when exploring lighthearted subjects like fashion extravagance.
