With the Tower of London visible in the background, a quack doctor on a platform holds up a bottle of medicine before a small crowd of city folk, as his assistant passes out handbills. Among the crowd is a carter with his whip, a chimney sweep's boy, and an obese woman. On the platform behind the doctor are several invalids, including a man with a crutch. A sign attached to the platform reads "Doctor Van Cheatall."
