Cassatt approached the suite of ten color prints as an oil painter would-scraping off drypoint and aquatint areas on the plate if they did not please her, and varying the palette of each impression. The process was a laborious one-she worked out the design in drypoint on one plate, then transferred it to one or two other plates that were used for aquatint. Using commercial printer's ink, she mixed the colors herself and "painted" the plate before each impression, using a technique known as à la poupée. Working in this way, she could achieve different effects in each impression, making each print unique. The Fitting is an excellent example of Cassatt's different color combinations. For the Impressionists, fashion represented the transience, spectacle, and exchange of commodities in the bustling city of Paris. Cassatt-who herself loved luxurious clothes-used fashion in her art as a symbol of modernity, class, and feminine beauty. The graceful forms of her figures, the embodiment of Parisian chic, were not nymphs or goddesses, but entirely modern women.

A decade of practice and experimentation as a printmaker culminated in a suite of ten color prints made in 1890–91. Combining glaze-like, layered tones of aquatint with the textured surfaces of softground etching and the pure, clear outline of drypoint, Cassatt's innovative prints astonished and amazed her contemporaries. Camille Pissarro, himself a printmaker as well as a painter, admired the perfection of her prints, describing the colors as "subtle, delicate, adorable blues, fresh rose, etc." The result for him was "admirable, as beautiful as Japanese work."<em> In the Omnibus</em> is the only scene in the series that does not have an interior setting. The theme of travel was appealing to artists in 19th-century Paris—it represented a public space where people of different classes and genders were juxtaposed in close proximity. A quintessential modern life subject, Cassatt depicts a bourgeois lady accompanied by her baby and a nursemaid doing errands in the city. While the nanny and the child interact, the mother's gaze is directed elsewhere, wandering to the world beyond.
