Statute Hall, or, The modern Register Office [graphic]

In a large room of an employment agency, prospective employers interview their potential hires. At the extreme right is a desk with the manager of the agency sitting behind it . On the desk is large open volume entitled "Order from Covent Garden for tid-bits". Next to it lies a note, "To Mr. Double Face, Statute Hall." In the foreground, next to the desk, a young man and woman sit on a bench waiting their turn. Numerous pairs around the room conduct interviews, including an older woman examining the face of a young manservant; a macaroni feeling the bosom of a maidservant; an old woman in spectacles poking the chest of a large coachman with a whip in his hand; a bishop leering at a young woman holding a box under her arm; and a pair in the background on the left holding a paper "Hell Fire Jack at the Bedford". In the background on the far right two young women stand against the wall, under an advertisement: "Two ladies want places with single gentlemen willing to do any thing." Other advertisements hang on the back wall
