Description
"The polite alderman, advancing to future happiness ..."; showing a very stout alderman doffing his hat and bowing to an even stouter lady who is carrying a large fur muff containing a small dog; behind the alderman is a fat dog; the lady's hand is being requested at the approaching Mayoral Ball. This is a gibe at the prosperous and overfed City aldermen.
