EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Economy, 1899" we are transported back to the 19th century in Britain. The image captures a humorous scene depicting a woman musing over the cost of having her gown made over versus buying a new one. The caption reveals her thoughts as she contemplates spending twenty-five dollars on alterations when she could easily purchase a brand-new gown for two hundred dollars. The cartoon-like illustration showcases the concept of economy during that era, highlighting the contrasting perspectives between men and women when it comes to fashion and spending. While the woman ponders practicality and thriftiness, the man seems oblivious to such concerns, representing society's general perception at that time. This engraving offers us insight into not only fashion trends but also social dynamics in England during the late 19th century. It portrays how women were often expected to be frugal while men enjoyed more freedom in their purchasing decisions. As we delve into this monochrome artwork by an unknown creator, we can appreciate its historical significance as well as its ability to evoke laughter through its clever depiction of gender roles and economic choices.
