Won't You Come Mr Mug
Date

Description
A young woman looks down from a window and says: "Wont you - Wont you - Wont you come Mr Mug?". Below the window is a sign which reads 'Fresh from Billingsgate every day '. She is addressing a coarse looking man, who has a rope with tankards tied on to it. He clasps his forehead and says: "Dang it - I should not mind but I be afeard to leave my pots."
