Description Fashion advertisement containing two panelled scenes of 15 elegantly attired men, women, and children in a parlor and an outdoor setting. Scenes surrounded by a border designed as tree branches and tools of the design trade, including rulers, scissors and protractors. Upper panel shows the parlor scene. At the center of the panel, two men stand showing their backs as they peer at the countryside from the curtained window. They are flanked by two groups conversing in the parlor. On the left side, a woman attired in a bonnet, long pleated shirtwaist, and white gloves stands in the middle of two men attired in long jackets, vests, and neck ties. The men on the right side wear the same style, while the woman wears a dress with a low cut neckline, gloves, and a small hat. Many of the depicted men have mustaches and or sideburns. Furniture in the parlor includes a high back chair, wing chair and an ottoman. Lower panel shows a beach scene and a hunting scene. Dividing the two are a man and a woman mounted on horses. The woman sits sidesaddle in a long skirt, shirtwaist, and hat. Her male companion, and the men gathered in front of their horses, are attired in vests, jackets, cravats and top hats. A casually-dressed, barefoot man, wearing loose trousers and an unbuttoned white shirt, observes the scene from a distance. On the opposite side of the horses, two men gather their prey from a recent hunting expedition. One man stands with a rifle in his right hand and points at the dead hare and fowl at his feet as another man, more casually dressed, puts the kill in a sack. A dog is curled up, asleep at their feet.
