About this work

This 1800 print by John Cawse, titled Boreas Effecting what Health & Modesty could not, shows four women in period dress reacting to a personified wind, Boreas, puffing from the upper left corner. A thermometer on the wall reads in the lower range, and a man in a tricorn hat stands at the right beside a figure at a doorway. The etched line work and caption give the scene a satirical tone typical of its era.
