- Abstract
-
"A street scene. An artisan staggers forward, dismayed at the disappearance of a woman who has fallen head first down a cellar whose flap has been left open. Her legs and petticoats issue from the small aperture. Behind is a window in which are bottles inscribed 'Cordials & Compounds'. A placard of clasped hands suggests a brothel. In the man's hat is thrust a pipe from which smoke issues."--British Museum online catalogue
