| Description |
A Hatter sits at his work bench, blocking a hat. Scissors and a bowl labeled "glue" are on the table in front of him. "Hat
factory" and "Spoli your hat while you wait. 50c." are written on the wall behind him. "Tile" is slang for hat. The valentine
suggests the hats he makes are of poor quality.

| Notes |
Text: When a fellow from you buys a tile / You pretend that you give him the style, / But he quickly finds out when he wears
it about / That you’re full of deception and guile. / The shape's out of date, the goods are fifth rate, / And his looks make
beholders all smile.
