EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when intellectual and literary women of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known as the Blue Stockings, gathered together. In this illustration by Thomas Rowlandson for The Tours of Dr Syntax by William Combe (London, 1820), we see Dr Syntax engrossed in conversation with a stunning Blue Stocking beauty. The Blue Stockings were an informal group of educated women who defied societal norms by engaging in intellectual pursuits such as reading and writing. They challenged traditional gender roles and sought to expand their knowledge through literature and discussion. This image showcases the power of these women's minds as they gather in what appears to be a library setting surrounded by books. Rowlandson's aquatint technique brings out the intricate details of each character, highlighting their individuality while also emphasizing their collective spirit. The composition invites us into this world where ideas are exchanged freely among like-minded individuals. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but feel inspired by the determination and passion radiating from these remarkable women. Their legacy lives on today as they continue to inspire generations with their unwavering commitment to education and intellectual growth.
