A man in fashionable clothes stands awkwardly on a city street outside the shop of McSight Hatter; he has a distressed look on his face as he holds his hat on. A dog at his feet has an umbrella on its back and turns and looks at the man with alarm

"A landscape is patterned with tiny children under huge wide-brimmed hats. Two girls in back view hasten towards three little boys who swagger forward, arm-in-arm; the hat of the tallest boy projects far beyond the heads of the others, who wear round peaked caps. All wear childish trousers gathered at the ankle in a dandyish manner. One boy rides a hobbyhorse, one child has fallen prone, and is almost covered by its hat. In the foreground grow genuine mushrooms."--British Museum online catalogue

In a crowded street gentlemen, a young butcher's boy delivering a slab of meat on a tray, and a dustman smoke pipes and cigars creating large billows of smoke as ladies in large hats, some barely visible in the clouds of smoke, hold handkerchiefs to their eyes and noses. A large bull dog drowls heavily as he watches the smoke pouring from the boy's cigar

"A Thames wherry passes close to the wall of a riverside tavern, and is about to go under a high timber bridge. The two oarsmen have immense artificial-looking whiskers and curled hair, cf. British Museum satires no. 15962, no hats, and wear striped shirts, open at the neck, nautical in cut. They row a lady who sits erect in a grotesquely huge hat, with wide brim, high jam-pot crown, and towering ribbons. They row badly and carelessly. In waterside arbours spectators drink and smoke. On the extreme left steps lead to the water, and two more amateur oarsmen, looking like buccaneers, stand, while a boatman in waders holds the bow of a boat. Behind are urban houses."--British Museum online catalogue
