Description: "The Gallery of Fashion", caricature which satirizes early neo-classical influenced fashions in England under 5 aspects: A La Turk Ottoman-influenced unskirted outfit which women could not have worn in public in England in 1796 A La Grec Named for the "Grecian" look A La Cité Fat woman (see File:1796-short-bodied-gillray-fashion-caricature.jpg for explanation) A La St James (see File:1796-short-bodied-gillray-fashion-caricature.jpg for explanation) A La St Giles Woman of the lower or non-"genteel" classes, wearing an apron, and a cap instead of a feathered turban, but whose gown still imitates the latest fashions in being high-waisted and cleavage-revealing. Print on wove paper : etching, hand-colored ; sheet 34 x 45 cm.
