- Abstract
-
"Interior of a shop. The dandy (left) cuts a length of material, the end of which lies in folds on the floor. He bends insinuatingly to a woman who leans with her elbows on the counter, saying: "He! He! nothing talked of but Dandies Mem now Mem! what is the next thing I shall have the felicity to do for you Mem!!" She answers: "The next thing Mr Dandy is to measure that over again, and see how much you have cut Short." She and a lady seated on a stool beside her wear huge bonnets in the fashion of 1818. The dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) wears a very long coat over wide trousers; the points of his collar are above his ears. Across the window stretches a line over which hang ribbons and scarves. Through the glass panes of the door a dandy is seen about to enter, while another man stares at him."--British Museum online catalogue
