+ | As well as being [[blatant]] in his observations, [[James Gillray]] could be incredibly [[subtle]], and [[puncture]] [[vanity]] with a remarkably [[deft]] approach. The outstanding example of this is his [[print]] ''Fashionable Contrasts;—or—The Duchess's little Shoe yeilding ''[''sic'']''<!--Please do not correct this "misspelling"; it is in the original, which we quote here--> to the Magnitude of the Duke's Foot''. This was a devastating image aimed at the ridiculous [[sycophancy]] directed by the press towards [[Frederica Charlotte Ulrica]], Duchess of York, and the supposed [[daintiness]] of her feet. The print showed only the feet and ankles of the Duke and Duchess of York, in an obviously [[copulatory]] position, with the Duke's feet enlarged and the Duchess's feet drawn very small. This print silenced forever the sycophancy of the press regarding the union of the Duke and Duchess. | ||
