- Abstract
-
"A central design, with four small vignettes: [1] '"Church & State"--' A bishop (right) and a layman take wine together at opposite ends of a dinner-table over which hangs a gas chandelier. Three bloated footmen stand stiffly; behind the host (right) is a sideboard laden with plate. A Gillrayesque picture of a papal procession extends along the wall (an allusion to Emancipation, see No. 15658). [2] 'The Shop for Bargains!--' A coal-shed, a ragged child holds out her apron for 'Half a peck of Coals, & let em be good, for Mother says, that penny coal I had yesterday was only a Slate'. The man, holding a shovel and a small measure, answers 'Slate was it?! then I'm sure she's no call to grumble you could'nt a got so much slate at the Stationers under a Shilling!' [3] 'Corporal Punishment'. A fat fellow, plodding uphill, stops to mop his head: 'They tell me I shall find a good deal of difficulty in getting my fat down!--but I 'fegs I find a good deal of difficulty in getting it Up!!' [4] 'Taken in Tow--a Scene on a Rope walk--' A beadle seizes a rope-maker who has a bundle of tow round his waist. [5] 'An Unthankful fellow--' A countryman sits in the stocks in the rain, his right wrist shackled to a post, scowling at a fat beadle who faces him under an umbrella: 'What! want to go?!!! after we have taken all this trouble with you! ungrateful man, hav'nt we warmed your back?! hav'nt we provided you with Board & Lodging?! & now! hav'nt you even washing included? what more can you want?! do you want a band of music?! or did you expect that we were to find you in Rose water & toothpicks?!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
