Little mistake
Print shows two couples, arm-in-arm, meeting face to face on a grassy promenade beside the sea. Both men doff their hats, all are well dressed, the "Lord" at left in top-boots, his lady without a hat, and holding up a parasol, and the "Taylor" in long pantaloons, his plump lady wearing a feathered hat and holding a fan. In the background at left, a bathing machine returns through the sea, the horse deep in the water. Below: '(A Polite Bow from both Parties) Lord " Sir your face is quite familiar to me, I must have seen you somewhere before, will you do me the honor to tell me your name." Taylor, "Yes my Lord, I have had the honor - I - I - I made your Breeches." - "Oh! Oh! Major Bridges, I am very happy to see Major Bridges."
