Description |
English: A man, wearing a large nosegay and holding in his left hand a thin tasselled cane, dressed to show the prevailing fashion for large metal buttons, and large shoe buckles. The brim of his round hat is looped up at both sides by bands held by a large button on the crown; the buttons on his coat are enormous. His waistcoat has also a double row of small buttons. His rectangular shoe-buckles curve across the instep, almost reaching the sole of the shoe. 7 February 1777

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) A cutting from the 'Morning Post', 14 Jan. 1777, is pasted on the print: "The macaronies of a certain class are under peculiar circumstances of distress, occasioned by the fashion now so prevalent, of wearing enormous shoe-buckles, and we are well assured, that the manufactory of plated ware was never known to be in so flourishing a condition." These buckles were called Artois buckles, it was the fashion to wear them of silver, and of a weight of from three to eleven ounces. 'Morning Post', 26 May, 1777. See also BMSat 5437, 5443, 5446, 5452, 5454, 5462. Reproduced, Paston, Pl. xxv. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
