The English ladies dandy toy [graphic]Cruikshank, Robert, 1789-1856, printmaker[9 December 1818]eng"A good-looking young woman, looking down and to the right, holds by two strings a jointed puppet (a pantine, a toy for ladies in vogue in the mid-eighteenth century, cf. British Museum Satires No. 12280) in the form of a dandy: in one hand is an umbrella, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13060, in the other a bell-shaped top-hat; it wears top-boots and breeches. She sits by an open sash-window, through which flowers are seen, wearing a becoming evening-dress, with long gloves and feathers in her hair. On a table is a book: 'Quite the Dandy set to Music'."--British Museum online catalogueBEIN BrSides 2022 43: Sheet 40.9 x 26.3 cm.
