"A dandy walking on a London pavement cuts an acquaintance. 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. Below the title: "Cut the first--is the Celestial: When you meet "your dunning Tailor, or story-telling Uncle, or a "Respectable Man with a Shabby-drest Wife and "poodle dog. You are suddenly struck with the "beauty of the Heavens! What a magnificent Structure "Herschell--Georgium Sidus: [see BM Satires 8115] By that time your Tailor "is gone by--& you pursue your walk--solus.""--British Museum online catalogue
