"A Modern Belle going to the Rooms at Bath" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The print is a humorous and critical depiction of contemporary social customs and fashion, particularly focusing on the ostentatious and extravagant styles adopted by women of the period. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and keen observation, uses this work to comment on the vanity and pretensions of the upper classes who frequented the social scene at Bath, a city famous in the 18th century for its spa and as a hub of social life for the British elite.

The print portrays a fashionably dressed woman, exaggerated in proportions and attire, as she prepares to attend one of the many social gatherings or "rooms" in Bath. Her figure is often depicted with a towering hairstyle, an ample bustle, and a narrow waist, all of which were characteristic of the era's fashion trends. Gillray's attention to detail not only mocks the extreme styles but also serves as a visual record of the fashion and culture of the time.

James Gillray's work is held in high regard for its historical value and artistic merit. "A Modern Belle going to the Rooms at Bath" is no exception, offering insight into the social mores and sartorial excesses of Georgian England. The print remains an important piece of satirical art, showcasing Gillray's ability to blend humor with a critical edge, making it a subject of interest for historians, art enthusiasts, and cultural scholars alike.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "A Modern Belle going to the Rooms at Bath" was likely published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print continues to be studied and exhibited as an example of Georgian satire and is held in various collections, including those of museums and libraries dedicated to the preservation of historical prints and caricatures.
