Dandies and Fops of the British Isles

With huge inspirational thanks to a drunken discussion with Pete Ashton, Fiona Cullinan, Michael Grimes, Mark CyBrum and Alex Hughes (I think, I was drunk…) I present an identification chart to all of the well dressed and non-so well intentioned members of society.

Dig the lovely pencil work:

    I've always liked the idea of The Chap but found it very dull when
    actually trying to read it.

    This is great! Perhaps a caption for who's who?
