EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Monstrosities of 1819 & 1820" takes us back to a time when fashion was both an art form and a spectacle. Created by the talented George Cruikshank in 1835, this print showcases the exaggerated styles and eccentricities of upper-class society during the early 19th century. In this whimsical scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling park promenade where men and women from different social classes mingle. The upper class gentlemen don their elaborate military uniforms with bearskin hats, while their female counterparts flaunt extravagant attire that defies logic. The caricatured figures are depicted with over-the-top features, emphasizing their fashionable excesses. Amidst this parade of monstrosities, one cannot help but notice the presence of dandies - stylish young men who epitomize elegance and refinement.

From the intricate engravings to the vibrant colours meticulously added by hand, each stroke adds depth and character to these larger-than-life characters.

It invites us into an era where imagination knew no bounds and
