Title | Symptoms of the Shop : Plate 1 |
Date | 1 Mar 1801 |
Description | A shopkeeper in conversation with his customer, possibly a tailor. The shopkeeper, on the left asks his customer: "Pray Sir be seated." The customer, wearing top boots, bag-wig and holding a riding crop, is lowering himself into a chair, and replies: "Seated. Oh dear sir you put me in mind of old times - oh the delights of the shop - there I'm at home to a needless point - my neighbour Gibson used to say to me when he brought small cloths to mend - Snip said he let them be seated - and the business was done." Available on CD 162. |
