A scene in a bookseller's shop. The bookseller wearing spectacles and a high collar stands behind the counter holding out three books to his customer, a roughly dressed worker. The placard below the counter reads: Black jokes. Life in Philadelphia. Rum jokes. The caption below the title contains a dialogue between the seller and potential buyer: I say Mister I wants a book o' some sort for my boy. Well heres a captial historical work. On he don't want to know any thing about that nonsense. Then here are travels, ancient history, and geography. Its no use Sir, he don't want to know any thing about such stuff as that. Haven't you got a Pickwick!!
