Venus attired by the Graces [graphic]Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[8 December 1800]eng"A fat ugly woman sits squarely on a stool, in stays and petticoat with clumsy ungartered stockings. Three women, grotesquely ugly, advance towards her, one with a cap, the other with a petticoat, a third with a chamber-pot. On the ground are combs, hair-tongs, tankard, pin-cushion, fan, and garters, one inscribed 'Set thy thoughts on things above'. Said to be a satire on 'some vulgar fashionable'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Temporary local subject terms: Female dress, 1800 -- Female fashion -- Pincushions -- Tankards -- Garters -- Hair-tongs.1 print : etching & stipple engraving with aquatint on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 25.3 x 35.6 cm, on sheet 28.6 x 39.3 cm.Mounted on leaf 44 of volume 10 of 12.
