Caption

'Taste in High Life', 1746. A satire on affected manners. A man holds a saucer and a woman daintily holds the teacup. Another woman tickles a black servant under the chin. A monkey with a monocle reads from a list. Pictures on the wall behind send up exaggerated fashions in dresses and wigs. Illustration from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century ... With over two hundred illustrations by George Paston [pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds], (London, 1905).
