Date[1813]
DescriptionTwo men sit either side of a table on which are glasses, a pipe and a jug of 'Stingo'. The man on the right has an insect crawling across his head. He says:
"What's that you say Neighbour? You see a creeper on my forehead! Come - Come - you joke."
His companion replies:
"I tell you what my good Friend - if you have any more such Jokes I would advise you to crack them as soon as possible".
