Bildunterschrift: The Mayor of Shrimpington (to Ecclesiastical Dignitary, who is congratulating his Worship on the improvements which have raised that once obscure marine hamlet into a place of elegant and fashionable resort), "Improvements, my lord! You may well say that. Why, only last year there wasn't so much as a cornet to be 'eard in the 'ol e blessed town; and now you may stand on this very spot and listen to three brass bands a-playing away - and classical music, too, mind yer - at one and the same time! Beautiful!"
