Summary
The interior of a shop where the dress-supports known as 'cork rumps', see BMSat 5381, &c, are made and sold. Two women (r.) sit at a counter, each finishing with a knife an almost complete cork rump. On the front of the counter is inscribed "Money for old Corks". Cork rumps of different sizes are on shelves on the wall behind them.
A woman with a camel-shaped hump behind her waist stands on tip-toe to see the effect in a mirror behind her (l.) which reflects her figure (not a back view, but as seen by the spectator). She appears to be looking at a second mirror which is not shown in the design.
In the middle of the back wall, and in the centre of the print, an arched doorway is inscribed "FITTING ROOM"; the door, the upper part of glass, is wide open, showing a boy or very small man fitting a lady with a cork rump. He is dressed as a Frenchman with a toupet-wig with a very long queue and is evidently 'Monsieur Le Que'. 7 March 1777
