In 1794 kwam in Engeland The Gallery of Fashion op de markt. Deze serie, duidelijk geënt op de Franse Gallerie des Modes, was volgens de uitgever bedoeld om de superioriteit van de Engelse smaak aan te tonen. De Engelse mode was decenter en soms zeer volumineus. De drie struisveren op de tulbanden van de jongedames (symbool van de prins van Wales) waren verplicht bij de introductie aan het hof.

In 1794 The Gallery of Fashion first appeared in England. Clearly inspired by the French Gallerie des Modes, the series was intended, according to the publisher, to demonstrate the superiority of English taste. English fashions were more decorous, and sometimes exceptionally voluminous. The three ostrich plumes in the young ladies’ turbans were required for introductions at court, being an emblem of the Prince of Wales.
