Summary
"Three stages of a dandy: [1] He sits in an arm-chair, in a flowered dressing-gown, reading the 'Literary Gazette' [Jerdan's weekly review], and negligently dangling a coffee-cup. His whiskers, like his hair, are in curl-papers. [2] He stands full-face, smoking a small cigar and holding a riding-switch. A small top-hat is poised on flowing curls which mingle with his whiskers; his contour is feminine, with long tight-waisted double-breasted coat over very wide trousers. [3] In tail-coat and tight pantaloons he sits, playing a guitar and singing loudly. His hair is more tightly curled than in [2]. In all three his sleeves are tight but puffed on the shoulder. His flat pumps have large ribbon bows."--British Museum online catalogue.
