Blenheim Street, W1S
High-change in Bond Street - fashionably dressed pedestrians on Bond Street. In the foreground, five men crowd a woman and girl as they leer at them. The women, seen from the back, are oddly dressed. In the background, three ladies, also in exaggerated costumes, walking arm-in-arm in the roadway. Also satirizes the women’s fashion of wearing one or a few vertical feathers in their headdresses.
