A scene ridiculing skirt hoops while proposing 'a new Invention by your Sexe's Friend' (a skirt which can be contracted to fit through narrow spaces by pulling two cords). The woman on the left demonstrates this innovation outside Long's Warehouse in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden where a shop sign of a woman in a petticoat is being raised into position. To the right we see 'The Round Hoops condemnd': a weeping woman is tried before a magistrate's court, apparently for wearing the round hooped petticoat which is suspended above her head (drawing comparisons with the dome of St Paul's Cathedral in the distance). BM Satires 1991. See references 31750 & 54334.
