EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of British society in the late eighteenth century. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this hand-coloured etching showcases his exceptional skill and attention to detail. The image depicts a tailor diligently measuring the waistline of an overweight customer. With precision and expertise, he uses a measuring tape to determine the perfect fit for a new garment. The scene not only highlights the tailor's occupation but also sheds light on societal norms surrounding body image during that era. Rowlandson's use of colour adds depth and vibrancy to this artwork, bringing each character to life. The composition invites viewers into this bustling tailor shop, where people from all walks of life come seeking their sartorial needs. This piece serves as a reminder of how perceptions of beauty have evolved over time while showcasing Rowlandson's ability to capture everyday moments with humor and charm. As we gaze upon "A Little Bigger" we are transported back in time, gaining insight into both fashion trends and social dynamics prevalent in early nineteenth-century Britain. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print stands as a testament to Rowlandson's enduring legacy as an artist who masterfully depicted scenes from daily life with wit and creativity.
