The music manufacturer [graphic].Collings, Samuel, printmaker[September 1794]eng"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.
