Sunday Morning in Town
Title
Sunday Morning in Town
Description
Illustration of a man and woman, both with umbrellas in hand, standing by a wall. A servant stands beside them and is carrying a chair on his head with a bible on it. Here indeed, dress not having yet become a science, the most laughable inconsistencies are often observable. The gayest colours and ornaments of some value, are sometimes seen on females without shoe or stocking. At another, the foot is thrust into a pink or blue shoe, the heel of which is turned down, as it is often impossible at the colonial depots of fashion to fit all the customers to a nicety. In the background appear the towers of the Catholic Cathedral at Port of Spain.
