Le Suprême Bon Ton, 1800-1815, No. 11: La famille anglaise à Paris. 1800 - 1815

"La Famille Anglaise à Paris" (The English Family in Paris) is a satirical print from the series "Le Suprême Bon Ton" (The Highest Fashion) that was produced between 1800-1815. The print depicts an English family in exaggerated fashionable attire, likely intended to lampoon the perceived fashion sense of the English upper class. The print is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and measures 215 mm in height and 268 mm in width. This anonymous artist’s work exemplifies the genre of caricature, which was popular in the 19th century, and offers a glimpse into the cultural trends and social commentary of the time.
