Steel Buttons, Coup de Bouton, 1777 - A Glimpse into Eighteenth Century Fashion and Humor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant world of eighteenth-century Britain. In this illustration from "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" we witness a humorous scene that beautifully captures both fashion and social commentary. A woman with an elaborate hairstyle stands before us, her eyes wide open in sheer amazement. What could have possibly caught her attention? The answer lies on the coat of a dashing gentleman beside her – a collection of steel buttons that shine so brilliantly they seem to emit rays of light. The artist's wit shines through as he pokes fun at society's obsession with fashion and material possessions. The dazzling buttons become symbols of status and desire, captivating not only our female protagonist but also reflecting the allure these objects held during this era. With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (the pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), this print offers a glimpse into the playful artistry prevalent in eighteenth-century England. It showcases John Collet's masterful technique in capturing intricate details while infusing humor into his work. As we admire this snapshot from history, let it serve as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found joy and amusement through satire and clever observations about their own society.
