Cravat—large and white.
Shirt collar—large; can be cut out of writing-paper.
Coat—blue, with gilt buttons.
Vest and pants—light; the latter short in the legs.
Shoes—low.
Mr. Puttyblow (the artist).—Nose red; eyebrows black, and painted above the natural eyebrows. This gives the eyebrows a continued elevated appearance, which is very comical in effect.
The moustache and beard can either be painted with burnt cork or India-ink, or, which is far better, made out of curled hair and a little diachylon, as described in a previous chapter. If you wish to make the character very comic, you can turn up the nose with a piece of thread and stick a patch of court-plaster over one of your teeth, all of which has been described in earlier chapters.
Cap—something fancy, of bright color if possible.
Coat—anything comical and shabby. The young man is poor.
Pants—short in the legs.
