Riassunto

Explores the print culture of 18th-century London, focusing on the correspondences between images and consumer objects. In this text, the author considers such themes as the display of objects in still lifes and markets, the connoisseur's fetishistic gaze, and the fusion of body and ornament in satires of fashion.
