A white serjeant, or, Special messenger! [graphic]Newton, Richard, 1777-1798, printmaker[16 April 1794]engIn a tavern, a group of men, several of them with very large bellies, sit around a table with a large punch bowl in the center; they are smoking pipes, some laughing at their companion who has just been struck with a stick by a large woman; others look up in alarm while still others continue to read. In preparing for another strike she accidentally hits the innkeeper wearing an apron behind her as he brings in another punch bowl, which spills as raises his arms. Above the fireplace is picture of a man racing a horse; another print of a horse hangs above the door. Their hats hang on pegs on the walls around the roomTitle from caption below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
