Title
Front, Side View, and Back Front, of a modern fine Gentleman.
Description
English: A whole length satirical portrait of a slim and foppish young man, in three positions. He stands (left) in profile to the left, his right hand resting on the head of a high cane and holding a large three-cornered hat. In the centre he stands in back view, his hat under his left arm, his cane in his right hand. On the right he stands full-face, in a rather swaggering pose, cane in his right hand, hat in his left.


The three attitudes show the fashion of the day. Hair loose and full over the forehead, a horizontal side curl below each ear, and a tightly-bound pigtail queue. A fitting coat double-breasted at the chest, cut away to show the lower part of a waistcoat ending at the waist; its special feature is an elongated and narrow lapel projecting beyond the shoulders. A ruffled shirt, closely fitting breeches, and low-heeled shoes. In the foreground buildings are indicated. 24 March 1783

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) In a contemporary hand is written on an impression in the Banks Collection, 'Coll Gardner vel Col1 Phipps'. A William Gardiner (1748-1806) was gazetted Lt.-Col. in the 45th Foot on 29 June 1778. Col. Phipps was the Hon. Henry Phipps (1755-1831), gazetted Lt.-Col. of the 88th Connaught Rangers 4 Oct. 1780, afterwards first Earl of Mulgrave. These are the only two colonels of those names in the Army List of 1783 ('Royal Kalendar'), both being men of note, see 'D.N.B.' A companion print to BMSat 6343.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
