Summary

Description
English: A satirical 1796 contrast between old Elizabethan and cutting-edge Directoire clothing styles: "TOO MUCH and TOO LITTLE, or Summer Cloathing of 1556 & 1796", a caricature engraved by Isaac Cruikshank after a drawing by George M. Woodward, published February 8th 1796. For a larger scan of a tinted version of this same print, see Image:Toomuch-1556 Toolittle-1796 caricature.jpg.
In 1796, the strongly neoclassically-influenced styles satirized on the right were still very new in England. Notice the single vertical feather springing from the hair of the 1796 woman.
Scanned by H. Churchyard.
