FASHIONABLE CONTRASTS: - OR - THE DUCHESS’S LITTLE SHOE YIELDING TO THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DUKE’S FOOT
As well as being blatant in his observations, Gillray could be incredibly subtle, and puncture vanity with a remarkably deft approach. The outstanding example of this is his print Fashionable Contrasts;—or—The Duchess's little Shoe yeilding to the Magnitude of the Duke's Foot. This was a devastating image aimed at the ridiculous sycophancy directed by the press towards Frederica Charlotte Ulrica, Duchess of York, and the supposed daintiness of her feet.
