- Abstract
-
"Dibdin stands smiling beside a harpsichord (left) directed to the left, and leaning slightly forward, left hand extended. In his right is a paper inscribed 'Oddities Wags'. On each side of the harpsichord is a tripod supporting a lighted candle-sconce. He is giving a musical entertainment. In the text he is ridiculed as Petronius Broadgrin, noted for consummate effrontery, and he is recommended the works of Joe Miller as a repertory of jokes. Below the title: 'Wags have at ye.'"--British Museum online catalogue
