笔记

A satirical depiction of Carington Bowles’s own shop in St Paul’s Church Yard. All the prints in the window are likely to be his publications. An extravagantly dressed woman catches a fashionable man by the arm as she points with her fan at a mezzotint droll in a print-shop window; a small dog looks up at her; an old gentleman with a stick standing on the right, stares at the prints and is surprised by a man with a warrant for his arrest.

The date, June 25 1774, which has been obscured in the print here, appears on another impression.
