EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of fashion in 18th century Britain with its exaggerated portrayal of "Waggoners Frocks or No Bodys of 1795". The illustration, taken from the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), showcases over two hundred illustrations that provide a glimpse into the clothing styles and occupations of that era. In this particular image, we see a male waggoner dressed in an oversized frock, emphasizing his occupation. His hat sits atop his head, adding to his distinctive appearance. The man's thin frame contrasts sharply with his comically large attire, creating a sense of humor and caricature. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate hairstyle and headdress worn by the waggoner. These elements further highlight the fashion trends prevalent during this time period. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where clothes were not only functional but also served as statements about one's profession and social status. It offers us a fascinating insight into how people expressed themselves through their attire centuries ago. As part of The Print Collector collection curated by George Paston (Emily Morse Symonds), this image serves as a valuable historical document showcasing both artistic talent and cultural significance.
