The armorial bookplate of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, on the front pastedown of each volume. A magnificent set. An exceptionally rare, complete set of the four original volumes of caricatures published by Mary and Matthew Darly between 1771 and 1773, comprising ninety-six brilliantly hand-colored etchings that constitute one of the most important early collections of English social and fashion satire. The present collection represents a landmark in the development of British caricature. Published at the height of the extraordinary macaroni craze of the 1770s, these spirited and frequently outrageous portraits ridicule the fashions, affectations, pretensions, and eccentricities of Georgian society. Their subjects include extravagantly dressed young men, fashionable ladies, military officers, clergymen, lawyers, tradesmen, and a remarkable assortment of recognizable London characters. The figures are generally presented individually, against deliberately minimal backgrounds, their identities and personalities established through exaggerated physiognomy, extravagant costume, distinctive gestures, and carefully selected accessories. This deceptively simple formula was ideally suited to the satirical portrayal of the fashionable world and helped establish a visual language that would be developed to extraordinary effect by the succeeding generation of British caricaturists. The term macaroni originally referred to a fashionable young Englishman who had returned from the Grand Tour with an excessive enthusiasm for Continental manners, dress, and sophistication. By the early 1770s, however, it had acquired a distinctly satirical meaning, describing a man whose devotion to fashion and personal ornament had supposedly carried him beyond the bounds of conventional masculinity and good taste. Enormous powdered hairstyles, miniature hats, elaborately embroidered coats, slender swords, and affected postures became the identifying characteristics of the macaroni. The Darlys seized upon this phenomenon with remarkable commercial and artistic success. Their caricatures transformed the extravagances of contemporary dress into a form of popular entertainment, appealing both to those who recognized the individuals portrayed and to a wider public delighted by the absurdities of fashionable society. Although many of the plates depict the familiar macaroni figure, the scope of the collection extends considerably further. Among the numerous subjects represented are The City Tonsor, The Turf-Macaroni, The Oxford-Macaroni, The Female Connoisseur, The Macaroni Auctioneer, The Macaroni Chimney Sweep, and The Macaroni Preacher. Such images provide an extraordinary pictorial record of Georgian occupations, social distinctions, and public amusements, filtered through the exuberant imagination of the eighteenth-century satirist. Particularly noteworthy is the prominent participation of women in the production of these prints. Mary Darly was not merely the wife of a successful print-seller but an artist, engraver, publisher, and entrepreneur in her own right. Her work represents an important early contribution by a woman to the development of British graphic satire, and the title of the first volume expressly acknowledges the participation of both ladies and gentlemen in the creation of its designs. Mary Darly (fl. 1756-1779), sometimes described as the mother of English pictorial satire, occupied a central position in the flourishing London print trade of the mid-eighteenth century. Working with her husband Matthew Darly (fl. 1741-1778), a designer, engraver, and print-seller, she helped establish caricature as a distinct and commercially successful branch of British printmaking. Matthew Darly had already acquired considerable prominence through his publications on ornament and decorative design, including his association with Robert Manwaring's The Chair-Maker's Guide and George Edwards's A New Book of Chinese Designs. His involvement with satirical prints extended back at least to 1749, when he was questioned by the authorities concerning the distribution of caricatures directed against the Duke of Cumberland. By the 1760s, Mary Darly had emerged as a publisher of.…
