Abstract
Society was a minefield for an eighteenth-century lady. The temptations of gambling, fashion and drink easily led to a spiral of financial, social and physical ruin ending in prostitution and imprisonment. Such was the moral of an earthenware plate produced by John Aynsley in Staffordshire in the 1790s.
