| Description |
English: Satire on fashion. A street where, before a house [on the right], over the door of which the name 'Love Joy' is written, a sedan chair has been brought, in order to carry away a young lady, who, in a towering toupée, and other articles of fashionable attire of this period, is leaving the house in company with a young soldier, who caresses her as they go; she looks fondly at him. An old woman, in what was then an 'old-fashioned' costume is interposing to prevent the departure of the damsel. 27 June 1774

| Notes |
Description from Dorothy George. This was clearly a popular plate, since an identical one seems to have been made with the same lettering. Differences are most noticeable in the face of the sedan-bearer, who has heavy-lidded eyes in the other plate; the light almost bisecting the shadow under the mother is lacking in that too. See 2010,7081.1173 for an impression. See also BM Satires 4537, another satire on the same theme after Grimm, with the title 'Be not amaz'd Dear Mother - It is indeed your Daughter Anne', showing only the mother and daughter. |

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.  | ||||
