Abstract

"Print of a pair of travellers who struggle with slippers during their stay at an inn. One man is helped as he removes his boots with the aid of a boot jack. Another traveller falls backwards from the stairs as his well-used and oversized slippers fall from his feet. A maid carrying a candle and with a bed pan, waits for the men. A well furnished room marked 'Travellers Room' in the background."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue
