Symptoms of the Shop : Plate 1

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."
