Abstract: "A tall handsome young woman walks, left to right, looking to the left with a coquettish smile. An ugly man (left), small and deformed, one leg heightened by an iron, looks up at her, saying, "Queer my Sconce but thats a D------d fine Woman, now if she has got any Shiners, I've a great mind to Noose, and tip her the go by when I'm tired of her." Both are fashionably dressed and wear spencers (see BMSat 8192). The lady wears a long fur boa, with a large muff. A pavement of large flagstones completes the design."--British Museum online catalogue
