In 1794 the attitudes were the subject of a set of prints by Tommaso Piroli. Owing to the popularity of Neoclassical fashions, the images soon became widespread. Subsequent editions were published throughout the nineteenth century. Piroli’s prints (and implicitly Lady Hamilton, by then resident back in London) were also the subject of satire. In 1807, they were mocked by printmaker James Gillray in a series which cast the renowned beauty as an ungainly frump.
