Description
The former owner of a curiosity shop, in conversation with another man. The former shop owner, on the left, is wearing court dress, including a large bag-wig and has a dress-sword. He is leaning forward slightly and says to his companion: "I beg Sir you will not touch upon curiosities - you must now Sir - before they made a knight of me, I kept a shop full of curiosities - oh it would have done your heart good to see me behind my counter, shewing my pickled crocodiles - but now, I look with my sword sticking out behind exactly like a blue bottle fly with a pin stuck in my tail!!"
His companion, wearing a round hat and hessian boots, replies: "You are the very thing Sir for a court dress - you are absolutely a curiosity."
