They are an elderly woman who is sewing, an elderly man in a smock frock, a youth, a small child, and a dog, whose raised head appears in the foreground. Behind the woman (left) stands a ghost in white drapery, with a beard and corpse-like face, glaring down at the group."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Printseller's announcement following publication statement: Folios of carricatures [sic] lent out for the evening.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
