The term “macaroni” pejoratively referred to a man who “exceeded the ordinary bounds of fashion” in terms of high-end clothing, fastidious eating, and gambling. The macaroni was the Georgian-era precursor to the dandy of the Regency and Victorian eras. In the 18th century, wealthy young British men traditionally took a trip around Europe upon their coming of age, known as his Grand Tour. Italy was a key destination of these tours. Author Horace Walpole wrote to a friend in 1764 of “the Macaroni Club , which is composed of all the travelled young men who wear long curls and spying-glasses”. The shop of engravers and printsellers Mary and Matthew Darly in the fashionable West End of London sold their sets of satirical “macaroni” caricature prints, published between 1771 and 1773.
