The Ladies Bill of Fare, or, a Copious Collection of Beaux 1795

"The Ladies Bill of Fare, or, a Copious Collection of Beaux," a hand-colored etching by George Wilson from 1795, is a satirical take on courtship and fashion trends of the era. The artwork depicts 12 figures, each representing a different type of man. These figures are depicted in exaggerated poses and attire, often with humorous captions, revealing the artist's witty commentary on social norms and societal expectations. This intricate piece, a rare example of 18th-century satirical printmaking, is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
