[edit] Summary
"A section of The Petticoat, or The Venus of 1742 and 1794", an English caricature engraving (presumably from 1794), comparing the fashion silhouettes of the two years (contrasting the hoop-skirt of 1742 with the somewhat narrow and high-waisted -- i.e. incipiently neo-classical -- gown of 1794). The left half is taken from a detail in the William Hogarth painting "Taste in High Life" (painted 1742, engraved 1746).
Text on the left: "The Mode - 1742 - Hogarth pinxit - from a picture of Hogarth's in the Collection of J. B. Esquire"
Text on the right: "The Ton - 1794 - Lady CC...'l pinxit - from an Original (in the Collection) at the Opera"
Notice the contrast also in shoes, between the high heels of 1742 and the flat heels of 1794.
