EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical coloured engraving titled "Apeing the Fashion" captures the playful spirit of mid-19th century caricatures. Created by Charles Henry Bennett, this artwork is a delightful illustration for the book Shadow and Substance, co-authored by Robert B Brough. The scene depicts a group of anthropomorphic apes imitating human fashion trends with great enthusiasm. In this satirical drawing, each ape showcases its own unique personality through their choice of clothing and occupation. The clever use of shadows adds depth to the composition, enhancing the humorous effect. From dapper gentlemen to elegant ladies, these primates don an array of outfits that reflect Victorian-era styles. The artist's attention to detail brings life to these amusing characters as they engage in various activities at a seaside setting. Some are seen smoking pipes or engaging in conversation while others strike comical poses. This satirical cartoon offers scathing satire on societal norms and pokes fun at human behavior through the lens of animalistic humor. With its entertaining portrayal of monkeys mimicking humans, "Apeing the Fashion" provides a light-hearted escape into a world where animals take on human traits with hilarious results. This print from Bridgeman Images is sure to bring joy and laughter to any art enthusiast's collection without mentioning commercial use
