The piece details ceremonial dress of nobles including Dukes and Duchesses with mantles, ermine lining, scarlet robes, coronets studded with strawberry leaves, and varying tassels for ranks from Marquis to Baron. It notes how crest pearls indicate titles and recalls a Dickensian scene of a laborer remarking on attire and a Portsmouth man selling boxes of liver pills.
