EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in London's history - Cruikshanks Exhibition of Bloomers in Hyde Park, 1852. Created by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, these original satirical etchings were first published for The Comic Almanack and have now been immortalized in this stunning image. Hyde Park, one of the Royal Parks of London originally owned by the monarchy, served as the backdrop for this extraordinary spectacle. In the mid-19th century, bloomers - loose trousers worn under skirts - became a symbol of women's liberation and challenged societal norms. This exhibition showcased women proudly donning bloomers while engaging in leisurely activities outdoors. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and bustling energy as people from all walks of life gather to witness this groundbreaking display. Men and women alike are captivated by the sight, their faces beaming with happiness and amusement. A variety of pets accompany their owners, adding an extra layer of charm to the scene. George Cruikshank's caricatures skillfully capture not only the fashion trend but also society's reaction to it. The overweight lady depicted serves as a humorous exaggeration that adds depth to his satire. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Jacob Larwood's "The Story of London Parks" we are transported back in time to experience both the joyous atmosphere and cultural significance surrounding this event. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich history and its ever-evolving concept of freedom and expression.
