TitleEvery Body out of Town : Plate 5th
Date14 Feb 1800
DescriptionA doctor in conversation with another man, possibly an undertaker. The doctor, on the left, is a short stout man dressed in a striped waistcoat, long coat, breeches, and is 'holding a hat'. He looks depressed, and says:
"I believe I must put down my Carriage Mr Crape - the Sea takes away all my Patients!"
The man on the right is tall and thin, dressed in dark clothes and holding a whip. He also looks depressed and replies:
"Ah Doctor I am afraid it is all over with us - I scarcely ever hear a Bell toll - I verily believe it is not fashionable for people to die in London during the Summer."
