- Abstract
-
Five images: 1. Two men converse: Man on the left: "If this is not the Tippy I wonder." Man on the right replies, "What pains some people take to make themselves ridicolous! 2. Two elderly couples sit at a game of cards with the man on the right addressing his partner: "I believe, Ma'am, we have two honors." 3. Two women walking with parasols discuss the novelty of their dresses. A short woman on the leftt says, "I believe Ma'am you'll find this the complete thing." The tall woman on rights responds with a haughty look on her face, "I beg your pardon Ma'am this is the true Bond Street." 4. Two elderly men read a letter from Copenhagen. "They write from Copenhagen!" "What do they say?" 5. A watchman brings a man he had accosted to an elderly judge or parson, "Please your Worship, this terrible looking fellow knock'd me down five times." The judge sitting in a chair replies, "A fierce looking countenance indeed, he shall be committed directly."
