Title	Symptoms of the Shop : Plate 6
Date	1 Mar 1801
Description	A print-seller declaring his love to a woman. The printseller, on the left, is kneeling towards the woman on the right. He declares: "Thou proof print of unsullied beauty - lovely transparency of unsullied charms, behold a printseller, at your feet, who does not wish to varnish over his passion with the opake mixture of fulsome flattery, but one who would be happy to take you off plain or colour'd, through Press or Backwards & forwards, to the manufactory of Hymen - the first Impression from such a Plate would vie with Titian's Venus." The woman, wearing broad-brimmed hat, and holding her hands in a muff, smiles down at him. Available on CD 162.
