Set in a traditional Victorian room, we witness a moment of horror as a fat lady sitting at a tea table reacts to her muslin dress catching fire from a hot poker that fell from the fireplace. The man beside her sits helplessly while another woman upsets the table in alarm. As if adding to the chaos, an oblivious butler enters the room and drops a plate of muffins, while a mischievous cat scampers away from the flames. The artwork exudes nostalgia and historical charm with its engraved technique and aged appearance. It transports us back to an era where muslin dresses were fashionable attire for women.

Vesuvius painting hanging over the fireplace, this print offers glimpses into not only fashion history but also cultural references of that period.
