Inscription below image reads: Indeed Mr Fribble I am not to be done in this manner, your Yard is to short by an Inch. A scene set in the interior of a milliner's shop. The milliner and a lady stand facing each other across the counter. He is fashionably dressed and holds a yard-stick. She holds the end of a piece of ribbon and says, with raised forefinger (the words engraved beneath the design): 'Indeed Mr Fribble I am not to be done in this manner, your Yard is to short by an Inch.' A second lady, seated in a chair, holding up a fan, watches the encounter with amusement.
