Description Fashion advertisement containing two panelled scenes of 15 elegantly attired men, women, and children in a parlor and outdoor setting. Upper panel shows the parlor scene. Two men, one showing his back, attired in suits, top hats in hand, greet each other in front of a sofa. A man and woman in lavish bed coats in front of a vanity dresser look over their two boys attired in jackets and pantaloons as they read a book on an ottoman. A man in a checkered vest sits with a flute in his hand as a man in striped pants, standing near a writing table, and showing his back, addresses him. Also includes framed paintings, mosaic carpeting, and wallpaper trim. Lower panel shows the outdoor scene. A lad wearing a cap, suit, and holding a cane greets a fashionable couple on a hillside that is lined with a picket fence, bushes, and trees. The man wears a suit and top hat and holds a cane, and the lady wears a bonnet and capelet, and holds a handkerchief. In the center, a militiaman in the Uniform of the Richmond Light Blues "copied by permission of Huddy & Duval" stands on a path in front of a mansion house. To the left, a hunting party with a dog convenes near a hitching post scratched with initials. The men wear hats of various styles, long coats, and checkered and dark pants. Each has a handkerchief in an upper or lower coat pocket and one carries a rifle and hunting bag. Most of the depicted men have some facial hair. Key numbered 1-8 and 9-15 printed above and below the image.
