Summary
| Description |
English: James Gillray: Fashionable Contrasts; – or – the Duchess's little shoe yeilding to the magnitude of the Duke's foot, originally published by Hannah Humphrey on January 24, 1792.
The print shows the feet and ankles of the Duke and Duchess of York (Frederick, Duke of York and Albany 1763-1827, son of George III, and Frederica Charlotte Ulrica 1767-1820, his wife), in an obviously copulatory position, with the Duke's feet enlarged and the Duchess's feet drawn very small. Response in part to contemporary press flattery of the Duchess remarking on her dainty feet and elegant footwear. See commentary at [1] 1st uploaded to en.wikipedia on 04:14, 6 June 2005 by Jpetts. |
