Long Thomas and Mad-le G-d Going to the Pantheon in Their Natural Masks May 1, 1773 William Austin British In 1773 drawing-master William Austin experimented with the new British print form of caricature and satirized members of London society. This design pokes fun at Sir Thomas Robinson, known as "Long Sir Thomas," who managed Ranelagh Gardens, a popular entertainment center that established masquerades (masked balls) as part of Londons social calendar. In 1773 Long Thomas was in his seventies and here wears an old-fashioned suit to lead his elderly mistress to the Pantheon, Londons newest fashionable gathering spot. That building also held masquerades and the print jokes that Austin and his companion have grown so ugly and short-sighted that their actual faces now function as masks..
