Below are kettle-drum, cartouche-box, musket, sword, and bayonet. BILLINGSGATINA: A buxom and comely fish-wife shouting her wares. A chain of eels, lobster, crab reaches a basket in which are oysters and large fish. The above two heads were closely copied, c. 1815, as a French caricature (title 'Caricature Angloise. N° 5') of Napoleon: 'Mons. va de bon-Cœur Caporale', and 'Mme Esturgion.' TRAFFICORUM: The head of a bearded Jew, wearing a hat, calling his wares with a cunning side-glance. These are draped from his shoulders and rest upon an open pedlar's box filled with scissors, spectacles, razors, spoons, purses, knives, rosaries, seals, a watch."--British Museum online catalogue.
