The influence of buttons on the development of art and vice versa (the influence of art on the development of buttons). An original and detailed digression, the theme of the "humorous lecture" by Yorick, son of Yorick—the author's pseudonym—at the Exhibition of the "Discouragement" Society at the Fine Arts on February 28, 1882, still capable of arousing the reader's curiosity.
