The Review, 18th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a cheeky and satirical scene from the bustling streets of London in the eighteenth century. In this print by John June, two women boldly raise their voluminous skirts to the crowd, playfully mocking the ever-changing fashion trends of their time. The illustration is featured in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" a captivating book by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) that explores the art of satire through over two hundred illustrations. Amidst an architectural backdrop adorned with archways, these saucy ladies challenge societal norms with their daring display. Their crinoline skirts and farthingale underskirts exaggerate their figures, drawing attention from both male onlookers and fellow women passing by. As Londoners go about their daily activities, these mischievous women seize the opportunity to poke fun at contemporary dress codes. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history while emphasizing the boldness of these fashionable rebels. Through John June's artistic lens, we are transported back to an era where wit and satire were used as tools for social commentary. "The Review, 18th century" serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found ways to express themselves through clothing and challenge societal expectations with humor and audacity.
