- Abstract:
- "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. . . . NB resolves all sorts of lawful & unlawful Questions .... Casts Nativeties, and in short is the only Man in existance, caperble [sic] of treating on all Subjects in the Habitable World.'"-British Museum online catalogue
