Patent-bolsters;-The way to be in-good-point., James Gillray, 1791

Mrs. Fitzherbert stands beside a dressing-table, her head turned in profile to the left, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wears petticoat and stays, with a tiara inscribed 'ich [dien]' and head-dress of three ostrich feathers and drapery. She is very buxom, with conspicuously large breasts, but is about to place a pad or frame across her bust which will increase her 'enbonpoint'. Above the dressing-table hangs an oval bust-portrait of the prince of wales surmounted by a crown and 'ich. Dien'. 13 october 1791 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1791. Dimensions: Height: 280 mm; Width: 180 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Maria Anne Fitzherbert. Collection: British Museum. Patent-bolsters;-Le moyen d'etre en-bon-point. (BM 1851,0901.549)
