Whims of the Moment or the Bedford Level!!
Woodward del. [Etched by Isaac Cruikshank]
[London Pub No 20 1795 by S W Fores No 50 Piccadilly NB Folios of Caracatures lent out for the Evening]
Coloured etching, E & P watermark. Sheet 230 x 350mm (9 x 13¾"). Trimmed within plate, losing publication line at top.
Two panels: on the left a well-dressed man staggers back in horror as he regards his queue of hair which has been roughly cropped from the back of the neck; on the right a farmer smiles as he shows off his neck, shaved at the back of his head. Francis Russell (1765-1802), 5th Duke of Bedford, protested against the imposition of a tax on hair powder in 1795 by cutting his hair short, a style that became known as the 'Bedford Level', after the area of the Fens reclaimed by his family.
