"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 show-room in which ladies are being fitted with various types of underclothing, specimens of which hang from the walls. An elderly man of quasi-clerical appearance fits a very fat lady with knickerbockers and braces; he looks over his shoulder at the spectator; from his pocket issues a roll of 'Complieations'. She is the central figure and regards herself with admiration in an ornate wall-mirror which reflects her face. Her stockings are held up by cords issuing from a disk on each hip. A lady and little girl (left) walk eagerly into the room. A shopman offers two false breasts to a wizened knock-kneed hag wearing knickerbockers. On the right a complacent lady in knickerbockers is having her suspenders fastened by a kneeling shopman. Another, seated on a chair, pulls on knickerbockers; other bulky garments to tie at the knee hang on the wall (left). On a shelf are wigs on stands (see BMSat 9313, &c), and from it hang garments having some resemblance to the modern brassiere (or soutien-gorge) to which braces are attached. There are also suspenders. Beneath the design: 'Dr Trussup takes the liberty to acquaint the Ladies, that he has by dint of intense Study, Astronomical . . . [&c. &c] Calculations, Discovered an immense variety, of Convenient, Comfortable, and Captivating Articles for the Ladies, first, his warm & well contrived Drawers, which will in all weathers, keep warm . ... in spite of the rage for thin covering, they are made of flannell, Cotton, fleecy hose & various other commodities . . . Dr Trussupp has from much observation and reflection, prepared commodious Spring Garters [ ? suspenders] . . . . without that banefull ligatue above the Knee, which makes the Ancle so inelligantly thick & Clumsy, also his wonder-full Wigs . . . but above all, his favourite & accommodating Circassian Vests, alias Bosom Friends, which permits free respiration, prevents all pressure on the chest, raises the languid Breast to the appearance of a Juvenile heaving Bosom. . . .
