"A promenade, with clouds added in watercolour as the only background; dandies are smoking cheroots and puffing out clouds of smoke. One stoops, puffing into a lady's face which is thus completely hidden; she staggers back; on an ascending cloud are the words Fond of Steaming Ladies? do you Smoke it, Eh! A second man stands over him, also smoking hard. On the left a dandy's moustache is blazing, he staggers back, his hat falling, his cheroot on the ground, and shouts Fire Fire Oh Dear my best Mustacios will be quite Destroyed. The man behind him, letting his cheroot fall from his mouth, screams Fire Fire. On the extreme left a fireman with the badge of the Sun Fire Office on his arm laughs, saying, Why Master I must fetch our Engine to put out your Steam Engine. The men wear bell-shaped top-hats, coats with a large collar standing away from the neck, and sometimes "with a single cape to the waist; trousers are full at the waist and tightly strapped over spurred boots. The women wear fur tippets and feathered bonnets; one has a huge muff."--British Museum online catalogue, description of reissued state
