Description
A busy street scene. A tall, thin, plain woman is followed by two men, one stout, the other thin. A third man has just overtaken her, and looks back in disappointment at her face. On the far right has lascivious looking soldier walks with his arm around a young woman, and a beggar-woman is pushed out the way by one of the men racing to get a look at the plain woman's face.
Behind them is a shop with the sign: 'CHEVALIER STINKPOT Perfumer in General to the Court of St James's.'
Available on CD 166.
