- Abstract
-
"Household goods are being piled into an open cart, which stands beside a corner house, the door being partly visible on the extreme right. The cart is already stacked high with mattresses, tables, &c. A burly muscular man stands inside it, taking things from a fat and slatternly but comely woman (right). She hands up a child's commode and is laden with bellows, warming-pan, chamber-pots, gridiron, &c. A pretty girl (left) brings a trap containing a mouse and a cage containing a bird. A pretty young woman is in the doorway. In the foreground two burly children play with a monstrous cat, surrounded by goods ready for transport. These are cooking utensils, mop and pail, flat-irons, &c."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
