The showman (right) stands in profile to the right looking up at Punch and Judy who perform on their tiny stage, the supports of which are covered by a checked material. A monkey wearing a cocked hat and coat stands on his shoulder and takes an apple from the basket on the head of an apple-woman. A man plays a hurdy-gurdy in the foreground on the extreme right. The spectators gaze up intensely amused: A milkman (left), his yoke on his shoulder, has put down his pail, from which a second monkey dressed as a woman is drinking. A young woman holds out a hat for coins, while she picks the pocket of a spectator. A third monkey crouches on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.</dc:description><dc:description>Two lines of verse below title: Now's the time for mirth &amp; glee, sing &amp; laugh &amp; dance with me.</dc:description><dc:description>One of a series of Drolls.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate numbered '161' in lower left corner.</dc:description><dc:description>1 print : etching ; plate mark 20.2 x 25.1 cm, on sheet 23.2 x 27.7 cm.</dc:description><dc:description>Printed on laid paper with watermark (trimmed).</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
