- Depiction: The principal figure in this plate is that of a corpulent individual, who is being measured by a meagre whipper-snapper anatomy of a tailor, the girth of his portly client is giving the knight of the needle no slight difficulty to surround his person with his measuring-tape, and the customer is impressing on his tailor the necessity of having ample room for his obese proportions.
- Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson 1791".
