- Abstract
-
"A man in hat, long coat, and boots (and wearing spectacles), grasps his friend's hand with a smile. The host, ugly and angry, says: "Ah! my old Friend I wish you had called at some more convenient time but this is washing day - I have nothing to give you but cold Fish, cold tripe & cold potatoes - you may smell soap suds a mile! Ah Jack - Jack you dont know these Comforts! you are a Bachelor!" Behind (left), two women stand at a wash-tub"--British Museum online catalogue
