description: "A section of The Petticoat, or The Venus of 1742 and 1794", an English caricature engraving (presumably from 1794), comparing <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">cutaway</u> views of the fashion silhouettes of the two years (contrasting the hoop-skirt of 1742 with the somewhat narrow and high-waisted -- i.e. incipiently neo-classical -- gown of 1794). The left half is taken from a detail in the satirical painting <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taste_high_life.jpg" title="File:Taste high life.jpg">"Taste in High Life"</a> by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/William_Hogarth" title="William Hogarth">William Hogarth</a> (painted 1742, engraved 1746). <p>Text on the left: "The Mode - 1742 - Hogarth pinxit - from a picture of Hogarth's in the Collection of J. B. Esquire" </p> <p>Text on the right: "The Ton - 1794 - Lady CC...'l pinxit - from an Original (in the Collection) at the Opera" </p> Notice the contrast also in shoes, between the high heels of 1742 and the flat heels of 1794.

description: Three figures, one above the other (left), headed modern., are compared with three others (right) headed ancient.: [1] A man with wide-brimmed hat, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">cutaway</u> coat, projecting shirt-frill (see BMSat 7249), short waistcoat, with two pendant seals, tight breeches and horizontally striped stockings, low shoes with ties, is contrasted with a man wearing a large wig, long coat with wide cuffs, long waistcoat, and high-quartered shoes of c. 1740-50. [2] A lady with loose hair decorated with feathers and the inflated breast and petticoats of c. 1785-8 stands in profile to the right. Opposite her stands demurely, full-face with her hands clasped, a lady with the closely dressed hair, fichu, ruffled sleeves, and slightly hooped petticoats of c. 1750. [3] A man stands with legs astride and arms akimbo, a bludgeon under his right arm. He is dressed in the fashion of the day with vertically striped stockings, wearing a large Kevenhuller hat. Opposite him a man stands in profile to the left wearing a small hat with long coat and waistcoat; his cuffs are very wide, he wears gloves and holds a short tasselled stick. The dress appears to be that of the late 60's. 28 March 1787 <br>Etching with hand-colouring

description: No. 4, a foppish footman (left) wearing a <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">cutaway</u> livery coat with pantaloons, bunch of seals, and other fashionable trappings, holds a nosegay, admiring himself in a wall-mirror: "This I think will strike the Female Villager, the dear smiling rogues will never be able to resist the little Jenny Seequy of my dress and manners." An ape on a chain (right) seems to imitate his pose. Two country servants (right) gaze angrily at him: a footman (right) says: "Nan did'st ever see such a conceited Monkey! old Jack the Baboon is a fool to urn!!" She says: "The house will be turned topsy turvy by these Lunneners." 30 August 1799 <br>Hand-coloured etching
