Summary

Description

A satirical cartoon from the July 11th 1857 issue of Harper's Weekly (New York), on the difference between Regency clothing styles of the early 1800's and the Victorian fashions of the time:

Two girls or young women of 1857 (wearing full crinolines) are viewing a painting of a woman in early nineteenth-century neo-Grecian attire.

Caption:

ARABELLA MARIA: "Only to think, Julia dear, that our Mothers wore such ridiculous fashions as these!"
BOTH: "Ha! ha! ha! ha!"
(Actually, it would more probably have been their grandmothers...)
