EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Foppish man of the 17th century" takes us back to a time when fashion was an art form in itself. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, this print showcases a restoration foppish beau adorned in extravagant attire that epitomizes the flamboyant style of the 17th century. The dandy depicted here is dressed to impress from head to toe. His feathered hat sits jauntily atop his perfectly coiffed wig, while his blue jacket and frilled breeches exude opulence and sophistication. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element, from his hose and boots to his sword and spurs, contributes to creating an image of grandeur. Strutt's handcoloured engraving brings this historical figure to life with vibrant hues that enhance the richness of each garment. This artwork is part of Strutt's larger work titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" which offers a comprehensive exploration into English fashion throughout history. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into not only the sartorial choices but also the cultural nuances prevalent during this period. It serves as a testament to how clothing can be more than just fabric; it can be a reflection of societal values and aspirations. This print reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at the intricate craftsmanship and artistic expression found within historical fashion.
