Title
Sir Harry Harmless.
Description
English: A man walks right to left holding a small tasselled cane in both hands. His foppish dress is partly feminine in the projecting mass of gauze beneath his chin simulating an extravagantly developed bust, cf. BMSats 7099, 7249, &c. He is very slim, and leans slightly backwards from the waist. He wears a hat with an enormous circular brim; from his wig three locks of hair tied with ribbons hang well below his waist. His coat has an extravagantly high collar and ornamental buttons and is cut away from the waist in a sloping line forming narrow coat-tails at the back, the sparrow-tail coat which became fashionable in 1786, cf. BMSat 6855. His stockings are striped; on one shoe is a buckle, on the other a rosette. 3 August 1786

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Identified by Miss Banks as Sir John Ramsden. With the print is a cutting from the 'Morning Herald', 15 July 1786: 'It is now the 'ton' to be lame, which gives the insects [see BMSat 6718] of the day an opportunity of displaying the oval buckle on one foot, and the Parisian shoe-tye on the other.' Ramsden (1755-1839), 4th Bart., of Byrom and Longley Hall, Yorks., owned large estates in Yorkshire.

(Supplementary information)

On the back of the print there is a pasted newspaper clipping regarding a particular fashion trend.

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.
