Simple sketches of different types of pants wore throughout a man’s life, ranging from different types of work (or lack there of) and his childhood. Beside each pair of pants they are labelled with a number and the type of pants that are drawn. In the BRC it says “AN EVOLUTION IN LEG WEAR COMMONLY KNOWN AS PANTS.

To the left of the man signing there appears to be music notes and the letters “KT”
