"What! Is this my son Tom?", a June 24th 1774 caricature on extreme "Macaroni" fashions of the 1770s (with a "big hair" hairstyle which echos women's aristocratic styles of the time).
Poem in caricature:
- Our wise Forefathers would express
- Ev'n Sensibility in Dress ;
- The modern Race delight to Shew
- What Folly in Excess can do.
- The honest Farmer come to town, [i.e. to London]
- Can scarce believe his Son his own.
- If thus the Taste continues Here,
- What will it be another Year?
