Description

"The inconveniences of a crowded drawing room", a famous May 6th 1818 caricature by

George Cruikshank. Shows a crowded royal "drawing room" reception (in a London palace). The woman at the left (whose train is being stepped on) is wearing the old-fashioned hooped "court dress" (abolished 1820), while the man in the door is wearing formal breeches (many of the other men are wearing military uniforms). The moustache of the man on the right had connotations of foreign (Continental) and/or military dandyism at the time.
