- Abstract
-
"Two sailors carry (right to left) a sedan-chair, in which sits a young prostitute, with one leg out of the front window, as if to kick the bearer, who smokes with closed eye. A third sailor sits tipsily on the roof, smoking; he says: "Come Messmates heave a head". Two sailors wear striped trousers, the third a short petticoat and a large fur cap. Behind (right) is the portico of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, with two men, one a Jew, the other a (?) tipsy parson. On the left. is the corner of the Piazza, the wall inscribed 'Covent Garden'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
