The centre figure is a man seated, full-face, swathed in a sheet, while a boy (left) applies tongs to his hair, which a man (right) is combing.

In the foreground (left) a customer is seated, clasping his bald head with a concerned expression as he reads a newspaper; behind his head is a notice, 'State of the Poll'. Two men, their hair freshly curled, stand in profile to the left before a looking-glass (left) adjusting their cravats. On the extreme right a barber shaves a man whose face is lathered; the barber's apron is inscribed 'Success to the Poll'. Next, a stout man wearing top-boots, standing full-face, turning his head upwards and in profile to the left, stanches a cut on his cheek with a towel. A boy stands beside him holding a barber's basin. In the centre foreground two dogs tug at a bag-wig; one (left) wears a 'Hood & Wray' favour, the other a Fox favour. A large hat on the ground has a 'Hood and Wray' favour. A barber's block has been overturned (left). On another (left) is a wig.
