Description
A young prostitute walks out the door of a 'HOTEL', watched by a grotesquely fat older woman. Posters on the wall behind the younger woman read: 'FROM THE COUNTRY an assortment of fresh ware', 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal', 'Portsmouth Dock' and 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a house with its chimney on fire, and the masts of a ship.
Available on CD 166.
