MODERN SEWING MACHINE

It was after this terrible incident, that the Emperor of Britain decided that the strict rules of social etiquette should no longer apply to gentlemen and they should be judged to be a gentlemen based on social standards of the time rather than rules and social status.

In 1731 the act of being a gentlemen was so popular that The Gentleman's Magazine was founded in London by Edward cave . The original complete title was The Gentleman's Magazine: or, Trader's monthly intelligencer.Cave's innovation was to create a monthly digest of news and commentary on any topic the educated public might be interested in, from commodity prices to Latin poetry.

The earliest eddition, in existence today is the 1755 issue where a competition was held for single men around the country to draw a picture of what a naked lady might look like.

The compeition was judged by a man called Burt Ringledinc The Third who said he had seen his wife naked once. Charles Weisenthal won this competition with the entry below, which later became the first blueprint for a modern sewing machine. Some historians today believe that Charles Weisenthal wasn't that close with his illustration and question the authenicaty of Mr. Ringledinc's claim that he had seen his wife naked.
