Summary

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.
