Title
Fashionables of 1818
Description
English: A couple walk arm-in-arm (right to left) on a pavement, the man much more caricatured than the woman. He wears dandy costume (cf. No. 13029), with bell-shaped top-hat, and trousers strapped under high-heeled boots without spurs. His elbows stick out, his cane is carried jauntily, slanting upwards. The much shorter lady is given height by the scoop of an enormously high bonnet which frames her attractive face. She wears a striped over-dress over frilled white muslin, the skirt above her ankles, and carries a large ermine muff.

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', IX, 1949) One of prints (coloured) by, after, or attributed to G. Cruikshank [many were closely copied and unless original and copy can be compared they are difficult to distinguish; some attributed by Reid or Cohn to Cruikshank are in the manner of the supposed copyist; some are probably by I. R. Cruikshank], from a set issued c. 1817 to c. 1819 (Nos. 13085-13145; see No. 12949, &c.). Nos. 12692 A, 12997, 13008, 13012, 13013, 13421 belong to the set. Also an impression with imprint removed.

Reid, No. 2747. Cohn, No. 1111.

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


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.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
