Abstract

"A crowd outside the lamp-lit theatre door (right) set in a colonnade; slanting rain streams towards them. A stout man and woman stand together, looking round in distress, while a ragged link-boy shouts at them. Younger ladies stand behind. A prostitute accosts a fop. A sedan chair rests on the ground, held by one chairman only. Two carriages drive in opposite directions, the coachmen violently flogging the horses."--British Museum online catalogue.
