| Caption | Cries of London, No. 8. A decent woman, wearing a white apron, and with a cloth over her basket, is supplying a patroness with a plateful of hot cross buns. A pretty woman, in a neat morning dress, is buying buns, and her children by her side are tasting the same without any loss of time. Outside a church, in the background, is a stout dignitary, with flowing gown, sleeves, and full wig, who is sweeping away from an appeal for charity addressed to him by a beggar woman and her offspring. Artist/Etcher: Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827; Merke, Henri. Date: May 4, 1799. Sourced from Digital Commonwealth website. |
