Georgian England was an exciting time to be in. It was a time of enormous change for Britain, including social upheaval, political challenge and economic revolution. This is one of the reasons it is so exciting to use as the setting for historical dramas, plays and theatre productions. If you are looking for 18th century Georgian costumes, Farthingale can help you find what you need.
Georgian Britain was a period of 123 years, dating from 1714 to 1837. The name ‘Georgian’ comes from the fact that this was a period in which Britain was ruled by the Hanoverian Kings George I, George II, George III and George IV. 18th century Georgian costumes are used in dramas and theatrical productions to recreate the look that was common at this time.
In this period of time, Britain was undergoing rapid changes and life was probably changing for many people more quickly than at any other point in British history. For example, England and Scotland had only been united for 7 years by the start of the reign of George I, so the country itself was experiencing a new situation. This was a period of extensive warfare and political challenge, including the Scottish Jacobites in 1745, the Seven Years War against France which took place in Canada and India, the Revolutionary War where American colonists created an independent United States of America, and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. If you are involved in dramas or re-enactments connected to any of these events, you can rely on Farthingale for help with 18th century Georgian costumes.
At the same time as wars and problems, this was the period of development and growth. The Agrarian Revolution and shortly afterward, the Industrial Revolution, created an enormous boost in the British economy. Britain began to overtake their international allies and opponents as the economic powerhouse of the world. This is the period when Britain created the world’s first national anthem, God Save the King, to celebrate what was being seen by many at the time as a great era for Britain and her empire.
