The Enraged Macaroni, 1773
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by artist Philip Dawe that takes us back to the vibrant streets of the 18th century. In this black and white mezzotint engraving, we witness a humorous scene unfolding outside a tavern. A dandy, impeccably dressed in Continental style attire, stands at the door while two women seize his attention. Through the window of the tavern, one woman mischievously cuts off his pigtail as an act of rebellion against fashion norms. Meanwhile, another lady playfully brandishes a fish in front of him. The dandy's expression reveals both surprise and annoyance at this unexpected encounter. The detailed depiction showcases various elements characteristic of the era - from the apron-clad female figures to the architectural beauty of surrounding buildings. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery serves as an exquisite backdrop for this satirical moment captured by Dawe. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into 18th-century fashion trends but also highlights society's fascination with satire during that time period. With its monochromatic charm and intricate details, "The Enraged Macaroni" invites viewers to step into history and experience a playful interaction between gender roles and societal expectations.
