- Abstract:
- "A lady stands at her dressing-table (right), her hair in an enormous pyramid decorated with feathers torn from a peacock, an ostrich and a cock. A young girl wearing a hat holds the peacock by a wing; another wearing a cap tugs hard at one of its tail feathers (which are very unlike peacock's feathers). An ostrich (left), which has lost most of its tail feathers, is about to pluck out those which ornament the lady's hair. A cock stands in the foreground (right), having lost almost all its tail feathers, many of which lie on the floor. A black servant wearing a turban stands on his mistress's right, handing feathers from a number which he holds in his left hand. The lady, who faces three-quarter to the right, is elaborately dressed in the fashion of the day. Her pyramid of hair is decorated with lappets of lace and festoons of jewels as well as with feathers. She wears large earrings, a necklace with a cross, her bodice is cut very low, and her elbow sleeves have lace ruffles. A pannelled wall forms the background."--British Museum online catalog

- "A domestic interior. A fat and ugly citizen, wearing old-fashioned dress with a small unpowdered wig, stands on the hearth-rug (right), his back to the fire; he is meditatively reading the 'Gazette', headed: 'New Taxes', and 'Bankru[pts]', his left hand plunged in his breeches pocket. Behind him on the chimney-piece is a pair of scales for weighing guineas (see BMSat 5128). His wife, bald-headed, ugly, and stout, leans back in an arm-chair, her hands raised in protest at an unpowdered wig which a grotesquely thin and ragged French hairdresser (left) proffers obsequiously. A fashionably dressed young man with cropped hair looks with imbecile surprise at his reflection in an oval mirror over the chimney-piece. His mouth is half-covered by his swathed neckcloth, he wears a short spencer (see BMSat 8192) over a sparrow-tail coat, and half-boots. A young woman with over-dressed but unpowdered (red) hair looks with dismay at her reflection in a mirror which she has snatched from the wall. On the wall is an oval bust portrait of 'Charles 2d', his tiny head framed in an immense powdered wig."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A satire on 18th-century English hairdressing and women’s fashion: a view of a London shop, presumably "The Rose" (note the large rose above the doorway), a hairdressing and wig-making shop owned by William Vickery (active circa 1783-1832). The shop is shown with double bay windows on the ground floor in which are displayed enormous wigs decorated with feathers. Men and women lean out of the windows on the upper level to watch a pair of bears escaping from the front door. The bears -- one saying to the other "Run brother Run, if were caught were Kill’d as sure as a Gun" -- are pursued by the proprietor of the shop and another woman. The shopfront is covered with advertisements for the real services and products offered by Vickery including Bears Grease, Soft Pomatums, Sticking Plaister, Curling Irons as well as "La Tete Transparante" and "Figaro Braids". A woman fleeing from the bears has lost her elaborate wig and is shown bald
