The consultation [graphic].[27 April 1774]eng"A man with the profile of an animal, perhaps a sheep, wearing gown and bands, holds a large tie-wig of the kind worn by judges in his left hand, the fingers of his right hand are held out as if in calculation; he looks at himself in an ornately framed oval mirror on the wall with an expression of singular imbecility. An open door in the back wall shows rows of books in a book-case: on its lintel stands a bust. An oval (half length) portrait hangs on the left of the door, it is of a man in wig and bands, probably the subject of the caricature. Two high-backed chairs are the only furniture of the room."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Initial letters of publisher's name in imprint form a monogram.Two lines of text below title: To wig - or not to wig, that is the question.Sheet partially trimmed within plate mark.Plate numbered "V. 3" in upper left corner and "14" in upper right corner.Temporary local subject terms: Pictures amplifying subject: Portrait of a man in a wig.
