A Man of the Time of George II (1727 - 1760) Notice the heavy cuffs, and the very full skirts of the coat. He' carries a chapeau bras under his arm — a hat for carrying only, since he will not ruffle his wig. He wears a black satin tie to his wig, the ends of which tie come round his neck, are made into a bow, and brooched with a solitaire from the book ' English costume ' by Dion Clayton Calthrop, 1878-1937 Publication date 1907 Publisher London, A. & C.
