Parasols for 1795 [graphic] / Js. Gy. des. et fect.

"A man and woman dressed in a burlesque of the fashion walk mincingly in back view. He leads her by the hand; she holds out in her left hand a tiny fringed parasol, the hinged stick bent at a right angle. Her small straw hat of masculine shape is trimmed with three enormous aigrettes of straw; her hair covers her back like a cape, and her dress hangs limply round her ankles. The man wears a hat with a round crown of usual size with an enormous brim curving upwards at the sides and bent down back and front, so that it covers his shoulders. He is thin and elongated, with tail-coat, long breeches, striped stockings, and half-boots of Hessian cut. In his right hand is a cane."--British Museum online catalogue.
