- Abstract:
- "A number of persons take shelter under the enormous hat-brim of a lady who screams, clasping her hands in alarm. An infant chimney-sweep or 'climbing boy' has climbed up her petticoats and sits astride on their lateral projection. A larger chimney-sweep is about to climb up, putting one foot on his sack of soot. A cloaked market-woman, smoking a pipe, stands under the shelter, as does a man in the dress of a naval officer. A sailor, wearing trousers, his arms folded, appears to be dancing a hornpipe under the shelter of the hat. In the background (right) a lady walks (right to left) holding up a small umbrella which shelters only a minute part of her enormous hat which extends far beyond her projecting breast and petticoats. In the foreground chickens run towards a hen for shelter. A house (left) and a high wall behind which is a tree (right) complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A companion print to BMSat 6874. A number of ladies wearing enormous hats and inflated petticoats as in BMSat 6874, are being, or have been, fitted with the puffed-out gauze cages which made the fashionable silhouette (the 'fortification bosom') project extravagantly at the breast. Some, with breasts exposed, wait to be fitted. A thin lady on the extreme left looks at herself in an oval wall-mirror, while the fitter arranges her dress; another advances, holding a large pair of balloon-like pads. One with an enormous projection beneath her chin is about to leave the room by a door on the extreme right, she looks round with a triumphant smile. All wear hats with enormous brims, some circular, some drooping and bonnet-shaped. A gigantic circular hat, larger than an umbrella, is suspended from the centre of the ceiling. In the foreground a dog, its hind-quarters shaved, and long thick hair on its neck and chest, burlesques the fashion."--British Museum online catalogue
