DescriptionThe lower margin reads: "The MODERN BEAU/ in DISTRESS./ Is this the Modern Beau old Crispin cries;/ Is this the Macarone in disguise?/ Whose outside Feathers are so very glaring,/ That those who meet him cannot keep from staring./ It is the same! but when upon the Mind/ Reflection steals, our wonder keeps behind./ For then we find this paltry fopish Race,/ Are Waiters, Pimps, and Barbers drest in Lace./ Published [erased] by CARINGTON BOWLES, N.o 69 in S.t Pauls Church Yard, London."July 13, 1773
