Miss Prattle Seeks Fashion Advice from Doctor Double Fee on Her Extravagant Pantheon Head Dress, 1772
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this intriguing print from 1772, we are transported to the vibrant world of 18th-century Britain. The anonymous artist captures a whimsical scene where Miss Prattle, an elegant lady of fashion, consults with Doctor Double Fee about her extravagant head dress inspired by the Pantheon. The image showcases a delightful caricature that combines elements of satire and humor. Miss Prattle is depicted as a large figure seated in a high chair, emphasizing her social status and love for all things grandiose. Meanwhile, Doctor Double Fee appears as a dapper gentleman with his trusty monkey companion perched on his shoulder. As they sit around a table adorned with tea cups and other accouterments of the time, one can't help but wonder what advice the doctor imparts upon Miss Prattle regarding her unique headdress. Is it merely an expression of vanity or does it hold deeper cultural significance? This mezzotint print offers us a glimpse into both the fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during this era. It serves as a testament to how art can capture not only individual personalities but also reflect larger themes such as class distinctions and the pursuit of beauty. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this antique treasure invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in the rich history that surrounds it.
