Just Hint a Fault, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the absurdity that often accompanied ladies' fashion in the late 19th century. This print, created by George du Maurier for Punch magazine, offers a humorous commentary on the extravagant styles of the time. In this cartoon-like depiction, we see two women dressed in elaborate gowns and hats. Their attire is exaggerated to an extreme degree, with oversized bows, ruffles, and feathers adorning their outfits. The artist's intention seems to be to highlight the excessive nature of these fashions. The title "Just Hint a Fault" suggests that even though these women are impeccably dressed according to societal standards at the time, there might still be room for improvement or critique. It hints at how fashion trends can sometimes go overboard and become comical rather than elegant. This image serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time and how our perception of style has changed. It also showcases du Maurier's talent for capturing social satire through his artwork. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from 1872, we are transported back to an era where clothing was not just about functionality but also about making bold statements. It invites us to reflect on our own contemporary fashion choices while appreciating the creativity and imagination behind historical trends.
