Satirical comment on extreme women's fashion, in this case sun bonnets popular in the early 19th century. Here, the exaggerated is exagerrated even more as gentlemen do their best to communicate with the ladies. The caption to this picture which appeared in Le Supreme Bon Ton, number 16 reads Les Invisibles en tete-a-tete or the invisible, face to face. Anonymous artist, circa 1815.
