DescriptionAn anthropomorphic lady of the day printed onto a cotton handkerchief. The lady, walking along a sea front with an umbrella, has antennae attached to her hat and a snail’s shell in place of a bustle; a satirical jibe at women’s fashion. The cotton square is handkerchief size; however it is bordered and hemmed at two edges but frayed at the two other suggesting that it was cut from a larger piece of fabric.
