"The interior of a breeches-maker's shop or workroom. Two men standing, one on a chair, the other on a stool, are attempting to pull up the very tight breeches of a stout man, who is lifted from the ground by their efforts. A stout woman enters from the right holding a pair of breeches under her arm. On the wall is a placard: 'Ramskin, Elastic Spring Breeches Maker They set close to the Hips and never alter their Shape which Thousands can Testify Likewise a large & curious assortment of Breeches Balls Straps Boot Garters &c &c &c.' Breeches and straps hang on the wall (right). The room is raftered and very scantily furnished."--British Museum online catalogue
