Description Fashion advertisement containing two panelled scenes of 17 elegantly attired men, women, and children in a parlor setting and an outdoor hunting scene. Upper panel shows a parlor furnished with floral carpet, a fireplace, an ornate chandelier, window blinds, a portrait painting, and high-backed chairs. At the center of the scene a young boy with a hoop entertains two seated women attired in dresses and bonnets. Six men dressed in solid or plaid pants, jackets, vests, cravats, and top hats flank the women and child in the center and converse with one another. Lower panel shows six figures, some standing, some leaning against tree stumps, and a man and a woman mounted on horses in the center of the scene. The male figures, including one boy, are attired in solid or plaid jackets, plaid pants, vests, and top hats. One man holds a rifle and faces the boy (right) who holds what appears to be a dead bird behind his back, as another dead bird rests on the ground at his feet. The woman, sitting sidesaddle, wears a dress, jacket, gloves and a plumed hat. Many of the depicted men, in both scenes, have mustaches and or sideburns. Figures numbered 1-17.
