Progress of Bloomerism or a complete change, by John Leech (caricaturist) caricatures of Victorians. Satirical cartoon attacking the fashion for women to wear bloomers. Role reversal is taken to extreme lengths, men are left holding babies and an elderly man gently remonstrates with a small girl for smoking, while the women act and speak like men.
