EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of respite and refinement in the midst of a rain-soaked London street, as depicted in an 1786 print featuring Jonas Hanway (1712-1805), an intriguing figure of 18th-century British society. Hanway, a traveller, philanthropist, and umbrella enthusiast, is seen sheltering under his distinctive parasol, an accessory he popularized as a means of protection against the elements. Dressed in the height of fashionable attire, complete with a tricorn hat and a tailored coat, Hanway cuts a courtly figure amidst the bustling crowd. The print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when an umbrella was not just a practical tool but a symbol of status and sophistication. Hanway's advocacy for the use of umbrellas in public led to a significant shift in societal norms, making it acceptable for men to carry and use them. The historical significance of this print extends beyond the popularization of the umbrella. Hanway was a man of many accomplishments. He was a philanthropist who established the Foundling Hospital, an institution that cared for abandoned children, and a traveller who explored the far reaches of the British Empire. This image encapsulates the spirit of a man who embraced the conveniences of modern life while maintaining a deep sense of compassion for his fellow man. As the rain continues to fall around him, Hanway's calm demeanor and elegant attire serve as a reminder of the importance of finding shelter and comfort in the midst of adversity. This print is not only a testament to the history of the umbrella but also a window into the rich tapestry of 18th-century British society.
