The Bustle!!! - A Satirical Glimpse into 19th Century Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Bustle!!!" and published by Thos. McLean in London, offers a fascinating insight into the world of fashion during the 19th century. The image, created by an anonymous English artist from that era, showcases a satirical caricature depicting women adorned in elaborate costumes with exaggerated bustles. The cartoon-like portrayal humorously exaggerates the popular trend of wearing bustles - padded undergarments designed to enhance the appearance of a woman's posterior. These fashionable accessories were all the rage among high society ladies at the time, symbolizing wealth and status. Through this artwork, we witness how traditional dress was transformed into something extravagant and comical. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors used in this hand-coloured engraving further emphasize its artistic value. As we delve deeper into this piece from our private collection - part of The Stapleton Collection - we are reminded of how fashion has always been subject to satire and social commentary. This particular print serves as both a reflection on societal norms surrounding clothing choices and an amusing critique on vanity within upper-class circles. With its rich historical context and delightful visual storytelling, "The Bustle!!!" continues to captivate viewers even today. It stands as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of fashion trends while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously when it comes to matters of style.
