Be not amaz'd Dear Mother - It is indeed your Daughter Anne., Samuel Hieronymus Grimm, 1774

Satire on fashion. On the left, a young woman dressed in high fashion with a huge wig topped by a hat greets her mother, a lady dressed in the fashion of earlier decades who starts back in horror at her daughter's appearance. Behind the young woman is a black page boy holding her lap-dog, and beyond, at the end of an avenue of trees, is the family's country house; date erased. Hand-coloured mezzotint. Date: 1774. Dimensions: Height: 349 mm; Width: 249 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. Be not amaz'd Dear Mother - It is indeed your Daughter Anne. (BM 1935,0522.1.39 1)
