- Abstract
-
"On a small platform a quack doctor stands on the left, while a dissenting parson wearing bands sits on a chair (right); both lean towards their customers. Behind is a curtain with the inscription 'The cheapest Booth in the Fair'. The quack, an open box of medicine-bottles beside him, holds out a bottle, saying, "This is the only cure my Dear Friends for every disorder incident to the human body but for cure and comfort to your Souls I must beg leave to refer you to my Partner the other side of the stage". A woman and a man gaze up at him. His partner holds out a pamphlet to an elderly woman who reaches up eagerly for it, proffering a coin. He says: "All my last books of Sermons going for two pence a piece cheaper by one penny than you can buy them on those days that I preaches in the fields: and if any of you ketchd a cold at that time I'd advise you to apply to my partner for a bottle or two of his Stuff." The heads and shoulders of two other persons complete the audience."--British Museum online catalogue
