BUNBURY , ALONG MINUET AS DANCED AT BATH |
£SOLD |
The Original Drawings by Henry Bunbury (1750-1811) for his famous set of engravings A LONG MINUET AS DANCED AT BATH 1787..
Depicted a range of figures all engaged in various aspects of the minuet, and the satire emerges out of a certain anxiety regarding the embodiment of class, for the strip implies that the minuet will act as a filter for class identity. The failure of the nouveaux riches to accede to gentility, and a reflection of society out side London. P |
