-
Phaeton and pair are stopped outside a town house, the box of the conveyance raised on an accordion-like mechanism to enable a lady to climb in from the second storey window. She is fashionably dressed with huge ostrich feathers in her enormous headdress, while the driver in laced coat and top boots extends a hand to help her. In the street below a man and woman with two children look on, as another couple look up in astonishment from the doorway of the house
