Man with round bowler hat and whip
Man with round bowler hat, green jacket, waistcoat, cravat, breeches, whip and pink-striped stockings. When fashions appear strange or embarrassing, I recall the hammer wigs, wide-sleeve coats, arabesque embroidery, wooden heels, huge baskets, that were found majestic or convenient by our fathers. Illustration by Jean-Baptiste Isabey. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
