The title promises a comic song about fashion, and the cover delivers it through a young woman dressed in the styles of mid-century America. The sheet was printed as a color lithograph in New York, a process that let publishers produce bright, eye-catching covers for popular parlor songs. Covers like this one were meant to sell music to families who sang and played at home, so the clothing they show doubles as a record of what was considered fashionable and how it was drawn for the public.
