Thomas Wright's 1848 social history of Georgian Britain, published in London by Richard Bentley for Victorian general readers, with wood engravings by F. W. Fairholt after eighteenth-century prints, cut by Joseph Brown and Conrad Cook. The 129 line-drawn figures show men in tricorne hats, wigs, frock coats and buckled shoes gossiping, strutting and leaning on canes, useful as outline character vignettes and period costume reference.
