A neck of lamb - a round of beef - and a scrag of mutton [graphic]Williams, Charles, active 1797-1830, printmaker[not before November 1816]eng"The title indicates the three figures in the design. A young woman, elegantly dressed, with a long round neck, looks down through an eyeglass at a fat butcher, spherical in contour, who gazes up with an admiring smile. Behind him (right) his wife sits primly on a chair, watching her husband with a sour and menacing expression. All are in front of the butcher's shop. Over the door, where a carcass hangs behind the seated woman: 'Roger Gibbs But[cher]'. A bull-dog lies in the foreground intently watching the younger lady; his collar is inscribed 'Gibbs'. Joints of meat hang in the open shop-front, with a butcher's block in front of it. The lower parts of two casement windows suggest a modest establishment as does a bunch of hearts, &c., hanging from a nail."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Later state; former plate number "388" has been replaced with a new number, and beginning of imprint statement has been burnished from plate.Date of publication based on complete imprint on earlier state: Pubd.
