"A freely drawn sketch of three figures. A Jew in profile to the right holds a glass show-box which is supported by a strap round his shoulders. Facing him in profile to the left is a man with a large pack tied to his back, he is looking at the Jew's wares, one hand held up as in surprise. Between them, and full-face, stands a Dutchman (?) wearing trousers and smoking a pipe; he is looking at the Jew's show-case. [In 1765 Cole compared the Paris shop-windows to the show-cases carried about by Jews. 'Cole's Paris Journal', 1931, p. 50.] Above the heads of the figures a devil is flying, he holds two strings, one of which is attached to the neck of each pedlar."--British Museum online catalogue

Scene in a crowded room lit by a few guttering candles, 'far exceeding in profligacy and dissipation' anything depicted by R obert Cruikshank in St. Giles. Men and women fight, drink, and smoke. An old soldier fiddles, a woman beats a drum for dancers who are almost hidden but apparently naked. Cruikshank stands on a table, pouring gin from a large tankard inscribed 'R.C' into raised glasses. One prostitute squirts liquid from her mouth at another, a third pulls on her stockings, incidents taken from Hogarth's 'Rake's Progress' (plate iii). 'Blackmantle' watches the fight, smoking a long pipe. On the walls are placards: 'No trust' and 'Pig and Whistle: Rules of the Club." British Museum catalogue
