Note that "undress" didn't mean anything naughty -- you can read a definition of it at Cathy's Regency fashion pages. In pursuing his goal of satirizing certain features of contemporary 1807 fashions, the caricaturist did not really draw a fair comparison between the styles of 1740 and 1807, since a young Regency fashionable is juxtaposed here to a sedate middle-aged pre-Regency lady (perhaps in mourning), and such features of mid-18th century dress as tight stiff stays with extremely low necklines were not included (also, the "1740" costume actually seems to be somewhat of a pastiche with 17th century styles). Women's fashions of the Regency weren't always "sensible", but their excesses do seem to be more in accord overall with the spirit of the 20th century than the fashion excesses of most other periods between the 16th century and World War I (which tended to go in for such things as huge hoopskirts and tight corsets...)

What might not be obvious now is that in 1799 the loosely-flowing unbound hair of the two ladies on the left would have been somewhat titillating in the eyes of the males of the day. (At the time, grown-up women did not leave their hair completely free-flowing and unadorned in public, but generally covered, ornamented, or confined their hair in some way, usually binding it up in back -- so unbound hair had a sexual charge because it was associated with the intimacy or privacy of the boudoir.)
Caption: ``Adorned with all the charms in which Nature can array her, bedecked with beauty, youth, sprightliness, innocence, modesty and tenderness, breathing sweetness from her rosy lips and darting brightness from her sparkling eyes, the lovely Sophia comes!''
The dishevelment of her clothes in the picture was not meant to contradict the word "modesty" in the caption, but was supposed to be understood as being the accidental and unintentional effect of her strenuous physical activity.
On the left: a raffish couple; on the right: German "egghead", and a lady with her feet none too firmly planted.
Nurse -- "Well Child, you shall have it, but I don't think you'll be a bit better for it, nor quieter when you've got it." Nappy -- "I will have it, I will, or else I'll cry -- give me the Crown!" (Torn picture of "the world" and broken crowns and scepters litter the floor.)
This bedside appliance fits in the corner of a room, and has a basin on top that you can wash your hands and face in (a jug of water would be placed on top of it for that purpose), and on the bottom has a concealed swing-out chamber-pot stand (with hinged foot for stability). Since the main sanitary facilities would have been on the ground floor, while bedrooms were usually upstairs, this would allow someone to take care of lesser necessities during the night without having to go all the way downstairs (and perhaps outside), to do so. (Note that this piece is an example of a professional cabinetmaker showing what he's capable of, and something this fancy wouldn't necessarily have been found in an average room of an average middle class house.)
(Intended to caricature the walz as having an abandoned nature, compared to the more decorous dances which had previously prevailed in genteel circles.)
Rudolph Ackermann was a publisher, print-seller, and "manufacturer of fancy articles" (e.g. screens, card racks, flower stands).
Right: American formal or semi-formal girl's silk dress with sash, ca. 1810 (its hemline probably would have been several inches higher above floor-level when originally worn).
(This scan courtesy Bob Whitworth of PrintsGeorge.Com.)
(At this time the Waltz was very new in England, and considered rather scandalous, because of the way the gentleman's arm encircles the lady's waist as part of the dance.)
Note that the figure on the right, labeled "1807", is actually apparently an 1857 redrawing of an 1854 redrawing of a slightly exaggerated satirical 1812 engraving, by Vernet, of a "Merveilleuse" (the colloquial name for a young French fashionable who adopted the most extreme versions of the latest fashions of the time). If a true ball gown of 1807 (which would look more like this) were contrasted with that of 1857, then to modern eyes the comparison would be even more strongly in favor of early nineteenth century styles.
"A Milling Match Between Decks", by W. Elmes, July 13th 1812. (A caricature satirizing situations which arose in some navy ships when officers appeased the seamen by turning a blind eye to indulgences below decks -- especially allowing women who were not the sailors' wives to freely come on board when a ship was in port): [Large Image] 1812milg.jpgThe devotee of terpsichore on the left is saying "I love a bit of hop -- Life is ne'er the worse for it when in my way do drop a Fiddle -- that's your sort." and the pugilistic spectator on the right is saying "Now Jack -- Brail up his peepers or Mungo will tip you yankey-doodle-doo." ("Hop" = "dance", "brail" nautical for "to haul up a sail", "peepers" = "eyes". The name "Mungo" is probably at least as much in honor of Scottish explorer Mungo Park as it is authentically African.)

- Two sketches are introduced, to shew the contrast betwixt the ancient cedar parlour and the modern living room: but as no drawing can describe those comforts enjoyed in the latter, or the silent gloom of the former, perhaps the annexed lines may be allowed to come in aid of the attempt to delineate both.
- A MODERN LIVING-ROOM.
- No more the Cedar Parlour's formal gloom
With dulness chills, 'tis now the Living Room;
Where Guests, to whim, or taste, or fancy true,
Scatter'd in groups, their different plans pursue.
Here Politicians eagerly relate
The last day's news, or the last night's debate,
And there a Lover's conquer'd by Check-mate.
Here books of poetry and books of prints
Furnish aspiring Artists with new hints;
Flow'rs, landscapes, figures, cram'd in one portfolio,
There blend discordant tints to form an olio.
While discords twanging from the half-tun'd harp,
Make dulness cheerful, changing flat to sharp.
Here, 'midst exotic plants, the curious maid
Of Greek and Latin seems no more afraid.
There lounging Beaux and Belles enjoy their folly,
Nor less enjoying learned melancholy.
Silent midst crowds the Doctor here looks big,
Wrap'd in his own importance and his wig.
THE BERKELEY SLIP, or a Lesson for Spinsters
"Not one false Slip entirely damns her Fame."
Trust not to Man, however Debonair,
Nor trust your bottoms on a slippery Chair.
(Dialogue in image here)
Though broad low necklines with tiny shoulder-puff sleeves were frequently worn during the Empire/Regency period, it would have been considered outlandish and unthinkable to go further and wear strapless, and straps which did not cover the shoulder-joints were only worn as part of the ephemeral Parisian High Greek look, such as by Madame Verninac in her portrait (a style which would not have been "street-ready" in London). This drawing of the 1818 evening dress shows shoulders pretty much as bare as they got among Regency Englishwomen...
Right: Early nineteenth century (ca. 1820?) cotton sateen stays which are long, but not necessarily all that constricting (in comparison with corsets from other periods); however, a busk inserted down the center front would ensure straight posture!
This depicts travellers grabbing a very hurried and impromptu dance on the road in early 1810's America (in rural Pennsylvania?), and so shows practices that would have been considered rather inelegant in genteel circles in England at the time (such as smoking in the presence of ladies, smoking indoors, taking off one's tailcoat in the presence of ladies -- leaving a man wearing only waistcoat and shirt -- and holding onto one's horsewhip while dancing!).

Caption: "This Plate representing the Meeting of the Royal British Bowmen on the Grounds of Erthy, Denbighshire, the Seat of Simon Yorke Esq. on Septr. 13th. 1822, is respectfully dedicated to that Society by ONE of its MEMBERS"
Notice that both men and women members of the society have uniforms (the women's uniform was a green dress with yellow at the shoulder puffs and yellow triangles at the bottom hem). In the 1806 book Microcosm (from which William Henry Pyne's engravings of rural and working-class life: on this page above have been taken), a number of these archery clubs are mentioned, along with a brief capsule history of both "working" and "hobby" archery.

- "Fire! Fire! oh Dear, my best Mustacios will be quite Destroyd!"
- Alarmed dandy (next to left):
- "Fire! Fire!"
- Irish fireman (at left):
- "My Master, I must fetch our Engine to put out your Steam Engine"
At the right of the image a dandy is blowing smoke in a lady's face, in flagrant violation of the etiquette of the time (in which smoking was mostly not done indoors at all, and never in the presence of ladies). Caption is "Fond of Steaming Ladies! do you smoke it, eh!" (The steam engine was a shiny new technology in 1824, so smokers are jocularly compared to steam-engines...) Moustaches were associated with foreign (continental European) and military influences at the time (and so had a secondary association with conspicuous dandyism), while beards were totally out of fashion (generally only a few elderly working-class people and invalids would have had them).
- In background:
- The formal procession which marks the opening of a legal "term" (court season).
- Legal individual:
- "Gentlemen, it was a very fine Oyster! The court awards you a shell each."
- In bag of legal documents:
- "Noodle v. Doodle"
- Noodle and Doodle don't appear to be pleased with the legal resolution of their dispute.
- Over donation box, at the barred window of jail (presumably debtor's prison):
- "Pray Remember the Poor Debtors"
- On piece of paper on ground:
- "Pray Remember the Poor Creditors"
[This was an old joke -- in 1791 a caricature engraved by Bowles after Dighton, with the title "A Sharp between Two Flats", showed a legal gentleman (the "sharp") dividing an oyster among the opposing parties in a lawsuit, with the caption "A Pearly Shell for HIM and THEE -- the OYSTER is the Lawyer's Fee".]
(The rightmost outfit, with its skimpier sleeve coverage, non-whitish color scheme, and slightly lower neckline, is the evening dress. The lady on the left is wearing a version of the ca. 1830 "salad plate" hat.)
Do you think it might be just barely possible that one of the gentlemen is showing off?
Caption:
- Captain:
- "Well, Mate! Just come on shore? How did you leave the ship's crew?"
- Mate:
- "Why Captain, I left them all to a man the merriest fellows in the world -- I flogged seventeen of them as your Honor commanded, and they are happy it is over; and the rest are happy because they have escaped."
"For all the happiness mankind can gain,
"Is not in pleasure, but in rest from pain." -- Dryden
(Dresses resembling those shown here -- very full-skirted but still very high-waisted -- were apparently worn by some elite followers of all the latest changing high fashions during a fairly brief period ca. 1819-1820, but never really became the default style of the general body of "genteel" women, at least in this extreme form. Ironically, these gowns have some resemblance to the hoop-skirted "court dress" -- worn at formal royal occasions -- which was abolished at nearly the same time, in 1820, on the grounds of being universally considered an archaic and hideous relic.)
The two large steam coaches are named "The Infernal Defiance -- From Yarmouth to London" and "The Dreadful Vengeance -- Colchester, London". On the rear of the coach in front is a banner proclaiming "Warranted free from Damp", the small delivery wagon has "Bread served Hot" on its side, and the service station proclaims "Coals Sold Here: only 4s. 6d. per Pound(?)"
As Paul Johnson has documented in his book The Birth of the Modern, the early British railroad companies were at pains to preclude any possible competition from free-running steam coaches (which may not have been too practicable anyway...)

A satire on what the imagined results of women's rights efforts would be. (The feminist movement had begun to attract public attention in 1848, and the 1849 Comic Almanack had carried a piece on the "Frightful State of Things if Female Agitation is allowed Only for a Minute" which, interestingly, satirized men's fantastic fears of feminism as much as feminism itself -- farcically portraying a social upheaval arising from a titanic struggle to restrain male smoking, drinking, and late nights out at clubs and pubs.) This piece is less equivocal, and mocks the mere thought of any possibility of women ever becoming lawyers, judges, and legal officers. Much of the humour (which may not be entirely obvious to twentieth-century eyes) is intended to arise from the way in which the rather grim and austere all-male world of the mid-nineteenth century English law receives various touches of feminine domesticity, giving rise to juxtapositions which would have seemed ludicrously incongruous and inherently absurd to many at the time.
The auxiliary spaces around the main area of the courtroom are "The Papas and Mammas Box", "The Brothers, Sisters, and Other Relations", "Visitors Gallery", "Prosecutrix's Boudoir", "Tea Room", and "Coffee Room".
At the left the female warder guards the prisoner/defendant, while the female bailiff(?) holds a staff. The accuser sits next to the jury, supported by a relative who casts a reproachful glare at the defendant. The lawyers etc. sit at the table; at the right, the main "prosecutrix" declaims to the jury, with piles of paper labelled "Introductory Correspondence &c. &c. &c.", "Declaration & Proposal &c. &c. &c.", and "The Breaking off" in front of her. The other lawyers (going clockwise) are looking at: a mirror propped up against "The Book of Beauty", an advertisement for "Don Giovanni" at "Her Majesty's Theatre", "Boz's Law Reports: In Cause of Bardell v. Pickwick" (a reference to an incident in Dickens' Pickwick Papers), and La Belle Assemblée (a fashion magazine).
Incongruous feminine touches include the ribbons and bows in the legal wigs of the lawyers and judges, the huge floral centerpiece on the lawyers' table, and the judges, lawyers, and jurywomen who are knitting, embroidering, smelling nosegays, plying fans, and eating sweets.
The blindfolded symbolic representation of Justice at the center top is dressed as a ballerina, while the lion that serves as a supporter to the royal arms at upper right has the hairstyle and moustache of a parlour dandy and ladies' man of the period, and the middle judge's book rests on a blindfolded cupid -- these last two suggesting that the judges' decisions will be influenced by the handsomeness of males who appear before the court. (Similarly, three years later in the Comic Almanack for 1853, there was a satire on what would happen if women ever could vote, in which the debonair "Darling, The Ladies' Candidate", with his promise of "Parliamentary Balls once a week", was pitted against the less handsome "Screwdriver, the Great Political Economist" -- but given the state of so-called "political economy" in early to mid nineteenth century, I would rather vote for anyone who might possibly show a few flashes of humanity, than for a practitioner of that very "dismal science", which largely consisted of "proving that the Good Samaritan was a Bad Economist", to quote Dickens.)
(This is a perfect illustration of Veblen's theories of the social basis of fashion, as applied to the Victorian period.)
- ARABELLA MARIA:
- ``Only to think, Julia dear, that our Mothers wore such ridiculous fashions as these!''
- BOTH:
- ``Ha! ha! ha! ha!''
(This shows that even women far down in the social hierarchy often tried to imitate the cumbrous fashions of the genteel classes, insofar as this was practical given the requirements of their daily lives -- or sometimes, as here, even to a degree that was more or less incompatible with their normal occupations.)
(This is not really as vigorous and well-done as the slightly later satire on a similar theme from a less respectable publication below; see also the probably originally somewhat serious but now unintentionally humorous 1884 advertisement below.)
For other graphic comparisons of the Venus de Milo with Victorian fashions, see this 1881 humorous image above (as well as a less vigorous 1870 satire).
The poem reads:
- "Ce Chien qui m'obeit doit servir de modéle

- A tout galant qui voudra m'en conter:

Upper right and lower left - Bacchantes

This image is a little funny because it doesn't really make fun of dress-reform and bloomers (which was the commonest reaction), and even seems to assume that bloomers would be acceptable as summer outdoors country wear, at least; but on the other hand, this illustration seems to miss the basic point of the dress-reform movement (i.e. to provide sensible and comfortable alternatives to impractical women's clothing styles), in that the bloomer costume depicted here is tightly-corseted and big-skirted, in accordance with the fashions of the day.
(If this dress were trimmed slightly differently, then a woman could wear it out and about now, without attracting undue attention -- not something that could really be said of any fashionable clothes from most eras before the 1920's...)
(Note that this gentleman takes an approach to wallflowers which is the exact opposite of what Darcy does...)
The paterfamilias is saying to the French dancing master: "I say, Mounseer Caper! don't I come it prime? Ecod, I shall cut a Figor!!" [i.e. "figure"], and one of the daughters says "Law, Pa, that's just as when you was drilling for the Whitechaple Volunteers -- only look how Ma and I & sister Clementina does it!!", while the dancing master says "Vere vell, Sar, ver vell, you vil danse a merveille vere soon!"
An exaggerated satire by Gillray on the extremes of classical-influenced styles which were very new and cutting edge in England at that time. The caricature is said to refer to Lady Georgiana Gordon; the title, as well as the servant lecherously peering down while trimming the candle, are allusions to the Lady Godiva legend. "Pope-Joan" is a cardgame -- see http://www.trussel.com/maig/pope.htm for information on the game; Lady "Godina" is holding the nine of diamonds which is called the "Pope" in the game.

Here's some commentary that accompanied an engraving of the painting printed in Analectic Magazine (1820):
The Country Wedding is engraved from a painting by Krimmel, an artist not sufficiently known to be duly appreciated. He is a native of Germany, but long since chose this country for his residence, and has painted many pictures in which the style of Wilkie -- so much admired in England -- and Gerard Dou so much celebrated of yore -- is most successfully followed. He avoids the broad humor of the Flemish school as much as possible, as not congenial to the refinement of modern taste, and aims rather at a true portraiture of nature in real, rustic life.
In the picture here presented he has delineated a scene of no rare occurrence in the dwelling of our native yeomenry. The whole is in admirable keeping. The furniture and decorations of the rooms, the costume and attitudes of the characters show perfectly the inside of a farmer's dwelling, and the business that occupies the group. The old clergyman appears to have just arrived, his saddlebags, hat and whip, lie on the chair near the door, the bride stands in all her rustic finery, rustic bloom and rustic bashfulness. The bride-groom's hand on her shoulder, seems intended to revive her courage, while the manner in which he grasps her hand is at once affectionate and awkward. The distress of the mother solaced by the father, who points to the younger daughter, as if indicating her as the successor to her sister's rank in the family, is well expressed. And the by-play at the door, which is opened by a servant girl to admit an old woman, the awkward affectation of grace and importance in the bride's-maid, whose attention seems to be attracted by what is passing between the young man and young woman on the other side of the room, all are full of life and true character of painting.
Mr. Krimmel's painting room, in Spruce street above Seventh, in Philadelphia, contains many admirable specimens in the same style. His country dance, Return from camp, Return from boarding school, &c. afford the amateur a rich and varied repast.

(If this family had a more or less secure base to return to during the agricultural off-season, then they may not have been quite as badly off as you would think by looking at them -- but if they were carrying all their worldly possessions on their backs, then their lives were likely to have been rather grim.)
