Description: Printed colour image of a man with fabric trousers in the process of dressing. Beneath is a poem: 'Dear Sir altho' your clothes are neat/And well fitting, as we see,/You nead not try to be so sweet,/As you'll ne'er be fit for me./Women of sense want something more,/Than one who spends near all his time,/And makes of money fly a store,/In the attempt to dress up fine.'
