A barbers shop [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker, publisher[13 December 1780]eng"The interior of a barber's shop. A very old and completely bald man reclines in an arm-chair (left), a cloth over his shoulders; a fat barber is about to place on his head a tie-wig. On the ground at his side lies a wig with a long pigtail queue which is being befouled by a dog. Behind, on a tall stand, is a barber's block fitted with a small wig. The barber's assistant, a lean man wearing spectacles and an apron, fits a small wig on the head of a stout man, who stands in profile to the right, his hand in his coat-pocket. On the right is a lattice window in three divisions; a man sits in a chair facing the window. Wigs are hung up in the window. On a high shelf (left) are round wig-boxes. Next the shelf is nailed up a print of Absalom hanging from a tree, while his horse gallops away. ... The ceiling is raftered."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Attributed to Rowlandson in the British Museum catalogue.First two letters of "TRowlandson" in imprint form a monogram.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Formerly mounted on leaf 11 of volume 1 of 14 volumes.
