A country woman sits on a low stool, while a farrier pulls at her tooth with a pair of pincers which he grasps in both hands. He presses one foot on her outstretched leg while a grinning assistant holds her head in both hands. A third man stands behind, also grinning and holding a stick above his head; one eye is bandaged. All three wear leather aprons. The wretched woman holds the tooth-drawer's left sleeve with one hand, his nose with the other; her eyes are closed. A boy (right) flourishes a broom. Behind (left) is the lighted forge. An anvil, horseshoes, and farrier's tools are in the foreground. A grinning face looks in through a wide-open window (right); on the sill is a large tankard. Thatched buildings and trees are seen through the window."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title from text below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Numbered "510" in lower left corner.</dc:description><dc:description>No. 25 in a bound in a collection of 69 prints with a manuscript title page: A collection of drolleries.</dc:description><dc:description>Bound in half red morocco with marbled paper boards and spine title "Facetious" in gold lettering.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
