"Street scene. 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. Beneath the title: 'Now 's the Time for Mirth & Glee, - Sing & Laugh & Dance with me.'"--British Museum online catalogue
