Caption: "A Comical Seduction Scene Unveiled - A Man-Trap, 1780". This intriguing print captures a moment of flirtation and seduction in the 18th century. Published by Carington Bowles in 1780, this comical scene comes to life through the lens of The Connoisseur Vol. VII in London, 1903. In this image, a lady dressed in an exquisite white patterned gown sits on a luxurious sofa with her legs crossed and hands clasped. Her direct gaze and alluring posture suggest she is ready to ensnare her unsuspecting prey. With a mischievous smile playing on her lips, she exudes confidence as she becomes the seducer rather than the seduced.
