"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

A pyramid-shaped monument with a caricatured portrait in profile of Wolfe; the plinth engraved with the text: 'Set honour in one eye and death in tother and I will look on both indifferent and let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honour more than I fear death.' At the foot of the monument lies a dead lion with the words 'Here lies honour' engraved on its hind leg. A dog with a collar labelled 'Minden' (an allusion Lord George Sackville's disgrace at the Battle of Minden) turns back and barks at the image: 'Honours a jest & all things show it. I thought so once but now I know it." He steps with his paws on a laurel wreath
