Abstract:
"A paunchy carbuncled fellow, wearing old-fashioned court-dress, with ribbon, star, sword, and bag-wig, peacocks with hands on hips before an amused group in a narrow 'Whitechaple' street. They are outside the new peer's shop, from which projects a pole supporting a sign: 'Breeches cleaned lined and Repaired' and an old pair of breeches. A fat woman, probably his wife, wearing a feathered cap, stands on a step-ladder scrubbing the board above the shop-front: 'Stichall Breeches [Maker] to his Serene Highness the . . .' On the shop is a bill 'To be Sold the good Will of the Shop - Removed to Grovesner Place'. The upstart looks over his shoulder with sour defiance at the neighbours who crowd round him, highly amused, a butcher in the forefront. An aged tailor holding shears gapes in amazement."--British Museum online catalogue
