On the left, a strutting dandy ties his neckcloth in front of a mirror saying: 'I declare these large Neckcloths are monstrously handy, They [serve] for a shirt too and make one a Dandy.' The right hand image is of a dandy, head covered in a cloth, dangling from a wooden beam with a tie around his neck. Behind him is a town square and in the foreground, a crowd looks on.
