The Ladies Bill of Fare, or, a Copious Collection of Beaux 1795 Published by George Wilson British A humorous prospectus of suitors adorns this fan leaf. Each type is named, given a motto and shown in a characteristic pose. The array begins with the Merry Lover, who sports a round belly, and ends with the Lover of Nobody, who spitefully kicks a dog. The central verse advises: "Here's Gallants sure a plenty! Chuse then, a Beau to suit your mind, or change 'till one content ye.". The Ladies Bill of Fare, or, a Copious Collection of Beaux 361977
