London Dandies, or, "Monstrosities" of 1816 [print] : scene, Hyde Park / G. Cruikshank fect.

Print shows people dressed in burlesques of the latest fashions and promenading in Hyde Park. On the extreme left a hussar officer wearing an extravagantly furred and braided jacket, cloak, and shako, and with a projecting moustache, walks in profile to the right, holding up his sabre, the sabretache dangling to his spurred heels. He returns the much lower bow of a couple who walk towards him arm-in-arm, the man raising a hat too small for his head. The latter wears a very high stock, which swathes a collar resting against the cheeks, tight-waisted coat with a long full skirt reaching to the ground. An eyeglass dangles from a ribbon. His companion is very décolletée; her short-waisted dress reaches barely below the knee and projects behind in a curve. She walks with the stoop and has a bonnet with flaunting feathers, a large muff, and wears cothurnes. On the right a woman bows insinuatingly to two absurd fops who walk arm-in-arm. The hem of her short wide skirt has an open trellis-work border, through which her knees are visible. She holds a reticule and wears very short ankle-boots edged with swan's-down. One of the two men wears a tight-waisted coat with very long skirts, over full trousers tied in at the ankle, a very small low-crowned hat, and stock and collar like the man on the left. His companion wears a heavily braided coat reaching to the ground with high collar and deep cuffs of fur; his spiky hair is pushed up grotesquely by his coat-collar. Behind, a couple walk in back view. The woman is immensely fat and very décolletée, skirts above the knee. The man wears wasp-waisted coat with tiny tails which hang between very wide and short trousers worn with spurred boots. A very small hat rests on hair brushed out at each side. In the background a man similarly and even more grotesquely dressed but with trousers tied at the ankle leans on the rails watching promenaders. All the men have padded shoulders and very tight sleeves.
