| Title | Fair Day or the Perishable Commodity |
| Date | [12 Nov 1807] |
| Description | A scene at a country fair. On the left is a tavern, on the right a stage, and in the background various tents. In the foreground a bent old man with a stick points towards a young woman's basket, although he seems to be looking beyond the basket to the front of her dress. He says:
"My pretty Dear - what do you ask for your Article? I am rather near-sighted - but I'll give you half a crown for it at a venture"
The young woman replies:
"Dear Sir! I wonder you should think of such a thing - though mine is but a perishable commodity,- it shall not go at that price I assure you".
