A single-page satirical wood engraving from Harper's Weekly, 16 April 1859, tracing changes in men's neckwear. Four caricatured male profiles in two pairs contrast the 'fast man's' large neckerchief of 1800, which wraps around the face and neck, with his much smaller neck-tie of 1859. It is of interest for the history of men's costume and for satirical commentary on fashion.
