EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "And catch the living Manners as they rise" captures a fascinating glimpse into Georgian society and its extravagant fashion trends. Published by Hannah Humphrey and created by James Gillray, this satirical caricature offers a humorous critique of the era's obsession with vanity and excess. In this lively scene, we see an array of characters adorned in fashionable costumes that reflect the height of frivolity. The female figure stands out with her tight-fitting suit, high collar, and enormous feathers adorning her hat. Holding hands with a male companion who exudes effeminacy, they both embody the exaggerated traits associated with macaronis or dandies. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the delicate classical chemise worn by the female character to the pointed shoes and riding crop held by her companion. The striped overalls add another layer of extravagance while emphasizing their mincing mannerisms. The artist's social satire is evident through his portrayal of these figures as symbols of excess and frivolousness. Their ostentatious attire, including an ostrich plume headdress for added flair, serves as a commentary on societal values during this period. Overall, this engraving provides us with insight into Georgian society's fascination with fashion and its willingness to embrace extravagance at any cost. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, human nature often succumbs to vanity and superficiality.
