Abstract:
"On a small platform a quack doctor stands on the left, while a dissenting parson wearing bands sits on a chair (right); both lean towards their customers. Behind is a curtain with the inscription 'The cheapest Booth in the Fair'. The quack, an open box of medicine-bottles beside him, holds out a bottle, saying, "This is the only cure my Dear Friends for every disorder incident to the human body but for cure and comfort to your Souls I must beg leave to refer you to my Partner the other side of the stage". A woman and a man gaze up at him. His partner holds out a pamphlet to an elderly woman who reaches up eagerly for it, proffering a coin. He says: "All my last books of Sermons going for two pence a piece cheaper by one penny than you can buy them on those days that I preaches in the fields: and if any of you ketchd a cold at that time I'd advise you to apply to my partner for a bottle or two of his Stuff." The heads and shoulders of two other persons complete the audience."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two lovers embrace within a small shed inscribed 'Strong Box' supported on a pole; a tailor with huge shears is about to cut the pole, saying, "I'll upset the basket". The open doors of the shed are 'Modesty' and 'Chastity'. Behind is sketched an equestrian statue with a railing, indicating a London square. On the right is a room, flanked on the left by a high folding screen on which are bills with the titles of chap-books or songs relating to tailors, the uppermost being 'The Brighton Taylor' (see BMSat 6942, &c). In the room five men with horns sprouting from their heads approach a (?) lawyer sitting at a writing-table, who says, "Say & seal, I say said & sealed". One stands on a three-legged stool, two legs of which have been replaced by moneybags, each inscribed '£2,500'. He says: "Joys that none but a married man can know - would that there was a Taylor here to measure them, but it would cost five thousand - " [Other inscriptions have not been transcribed.] An old man with a crutch looks round the screen at the lovers, saying, "D------d good Trade Ill go & get married too."--British Museum online catalogue
