* Carington Bowles, publisher. Welladay! Is this my son Tom! [and] Be not amaz'd Dear Mother - It is indeed your daughter Anne. 1773 & 1774, a pair of mezzotint drolls after 'Grimm', both with bright contemporary hand colouring, thread margins, each approximately 345 x 245 mm, framed and glazed in uniform near contemporary stained wooden frames, with contemporary label 'Samuel Pitt, Appraiser, Auctioneer, Carver, Gilder, Looking Glass and Picture Frame Manufacturer, High Street, Dudley' to verso (Qty: 2)NOTESA pair of humorous mezzotints which expose the generational reactions to the new 'French Style' of dress and adornment. A farmer and his wife react in horror and astonishment at the appearance of their son and daughter who have returned from a trip to France or an English city where French dress was in vogue. Both of them have huge exaggerated wigs with a small hat balanced on top of their hairpieces. The 'Macaroni' dress of the young man is set of with a large cane and 'man-bag' and he carries a sword whose purpose seems purely to serve as an aid to keeping his hat on. The young lady has a monstrous wig and is accompanied by a black servant who carries a small furry dog. Her dress is low cut and exposes much of her bust and out of her décolletage emerges a large bunch of flowers. The fashionable excess of the Macaroni were an easy target for the satirist and needed little if any exaggeration.
