A unhappy looking couple on a pier, having just disembarked from their boat. The man has a red scarf on, holds several sticks and umbrellas, and a large red and yellow carpet bag. The woman, her arm through his, holds a small dog and a small basket bag, and is wearing a yellow and green plaid shawl and a pink skirt caught up to show a red and black striped crinoline. Both look bedraggled. In the background a woman holding a hatbox or a canister is shown with a handkerchief to her mouth.
1 of 30 comic visiting cards, some hand-coloured.
