The graces in a high wind by James Gillray

description

Summary

A satirical engraving by James Gillray (died 1815), published 1810.
This caricatures the loosely-clinging Empire/Regency styles, worn with few layers of stiffening petticoats. Many people alive in 1810 would have well remembered the rigid styles of the 1770s, which went to the opposite extreme.
