[edit] Summary

"Modern Antiques", an 1806 caricature by Thomas Rowlandson which satirizes the British enthusiasm for things ancient-Egyptian in the years after Napoleon's military expedition against Egypt.

For example, a woman wrote to the Morning Chronicle newspaper in 1805, complaining that "since this accursed Egyptian style came into fashion... my eldest boy rides on a sphinx instead of a rocking-horse, my youngest has a papboat in the shape of a crocodile, and my husband has built a watercloset in the shape of a pyramid, and has his shirts marked with a lotus."
