Utility Combined with Elegance, 1858. Artist: Captain HR Howard
Utility Combined with Elegance, 1858. This cartoon is one of very many in Punch during the mid-Victorian period which satirise womens fashions. One of Punchs favourite targets was the absurdity of the crinoline. Here, the ladys footman has to walk so far behind her in order not to tread on her skirts that the umbrella he carries is four times the size of an ordinary one and thus accommodates not only himself and his mistress, but a miscellany of street urchins. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 13, 1858
