[Pedlars] [graphic]Gulston, Eliza B., 1749 or 1750-1779 or 1780, printmakerpublish'd as [the] act directs, 2d March 1772.eng"A freely drawn sketch of three figures. A Jew in profile to the right holds a glass show-box which is supported by a strap round his shoulders. Facing him in profile to the left is a man with a large pack tied to his back, he is looking at the Jew's wares, one hand held up as in surprise. Between them, and full-face, stands a Dutchman (?) wearing trousers and smoking a pipe; he is looking at the Jew's show-case. [In 1765 Cole compared the Paris shop-windows to the show-cases carried about by Jews. 'Cole's Paris Journal', 1931, p. 50.] Above the heads of the figures a devil is flying, he holds two strings, one of which is attached to the neck of each pedlar."--British Museum online catalogueTitle supplied from British Museum catalogue.Temporary local subject terms: Trades: street pedlars -- Dutchmen -- Pedlars' show-boxes.
