The cobler [sic] and poet sung with great applause by Mr. Fawcett in Mr. Allingham's new farce, called "Who wins, or the widow's choice" / [graphic]

"Heading to printed verses: 'Sung with great Applause by Mr Fawcett, in Mr. Allingham's New Farce, called "Who Wins, or the Widow's Choice"'. A fat cobbler points out his stall (left) to a thin ragged man whose dress aims at gentility. Above a shabby 'bulk' partly below street-level, is a placard: 'Boots & Shoes Neatly Made or Mended by me Jonathan Saveall'. Behind (right) is the corner of 'Grubb Street'. A ballad-singer with children sings outside the shop of 'Simon Sloop': on a window-pane: 'Hot Ox Cheek Shin of Beef &c.' Behind is a street of cottages, one 'A Day School'. The men came to London together, one has thriven on leather, the other has starved on poetry and learning."--British Museum online catalogue
