"No. 6. A ballad-singer (three-quarter length) bawls a ballad; at her back is an infant, another is beside her, both bawling. Her song: 'What's Life without Passion, sweet Passion of Love'. An elderly bearded Jew is close beside her, hands clasped, looking up in ecstasy. Beneath the design: 'Melody produces Rapture, as exemplified in the Jew Cloathsman's rapturous attention to the Vocal strains of the Ballad-singer & her Family.'"--British Museum online catalogue
