In profile to the left a moustached man gazes up open-mouthed; walking to the right, nearer the tree-topped wall forming a background, is a man who touches his bell-shaped top-hat; he carries a bag under his arm, a paper behind his back. Behind him on the wall is a bill: A Dunn Tailor Fashionable Cut. Other bills are Walkers Orrery--Lent--Heavenly Bodies; Meeting of Creditors of J Skylark 1 April.
