"Two designs on one pl. Above, two rows of burlesqued yokels (with two comely women, and an ugly old one), seated behind the orchestra and backed by a rough brick wall, register intense amusement. A fiddler stands up to snuff a single wall-candle. Below, three members of the orchestra play, grotesquely weeping; behind them are the pittites, also burlesqued, except for a good-looking young couple.
