1830 Acquaintance Bowing Etiquette Greeting Introducing Removing Styles Introductions
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of "Old & New Introductions." The image beautifully contrasts two different styles of introducing a new acquaintance - one representing the traditional, historical customs of the past, and the other showcasing modern etiquette.
In the old style, we see a gentleman gracefully bowing to his new acquaintance while removing his hat as a sign of respect. This gesture reflects a time when formal introductions were steeped in tradition and ceremony, emphasizing politeness and decorum.
On the other hand, the new style introduces us to a more casual approach to meeting someone for the first time. Here, we witness a simple handshake between two individuals, symbolizing a shift towards more relaxed social interactions in contemporary society.
Through this striking juxtaposition of old and new customs, Mary Evans Prints Online invites us to reflect on how introductions have evolved over time. It serves as a reminder that while some traditions may fade away with changing times, certain gestures of respect and courtesy remain timeless.
Whether you prefer the elegance of historical etiquette or embrace modern simplicity in your introductions, this thought-provoking print is sure to spark conversations about how we connect with others in our ever-changing world.
