No, I didn't comment on the etched doors. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if you were right about misogyny: there was (and is) a lot of it about. Searching on 'women' didn't give me a lot of evidence of it, though. Can you suggest some examples?Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12586131772199247420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-62533263819422431872007-07-02T12:52:00.000+10:002007-07-02T12:52:00.000+10:00I agree that the caricatures show men in unflatter...I agree that the caricatures show men in unflattering lights too, but the women are mocked in ways that are heavily sexualised while the men aren't, not even the fops who are mocked for their silly clothes. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy this sort of research very much and I think the eighteenth century would have been a great time to be alive (for some) but I don't want to falsely idealise it either.lucy tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244574932248425378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-63518555544045443792007-07-02T12:48:00.000+10:002007-07-02T12:48:00.000+10:00Please, could you sign your comment?

The idea was to show how stupidly large a fashionable bonnet is - there are lots of caricatures of the Fashions showing women with dresses that are too skimpy and headdresses that are too overblown.
