Lowell Blair (editor & translator) - The Memoirs of Casanova

Bantam Books Q3738, 1968

Cover: Engraving by James Gillray 1792

 

The original engraving included this caption: "Fashionable Contrasts; – or – the Duchess's little shoe yielding to the magnitude of the Duke's foot"

 

Originally published by Hannah Humphrey on January 24, 1792.

 

The print shows the feet and ankles of the Duke and Duchess of York (Frederick, Duke of York and Albany 1763-1827, son of George III, and Frederica Charlotte Ulrica 1767-1820, his wife), in an obviously copulatory position, with the Duke's feet enlarged and the Duchess's feet drawn very small.
