Fashionable reading vide new church Oxford. [graphic][approximately 1868?]eng"A foppish parson, directed to the left, wearing a voluminous surplice over a high 'dandy' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) collar, with bands, and displaying elegant be-ringed hands, preaches from a pulpit, the upper part only of which is depicted. In his eye is stuck a monocle with short handle and cord. A large book is on his pulpit-cushion, which is elaborately trimmed with gold fringe, and he reads with a complacent smile: "And behold in these times the Dan-dees were" / "arrayed in Garments of divers fashions--and in" / "fine Linens curiously wrought--and moreover--" / "they were gazed upon by the bretheren of the Land," / "in which they dwelt--and the people marvelled." / "Lib. 2-- ver 6. 7. 8"."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Restrike.
