- Abstract
-
"A handsome strapping woman stands in the doorway of a brothel, a corner house of some size (right), tugging hard at the neck-cloth of a plainly dressed man, saying, "Wont you come, wont you come Mr Mug [a popular song, see British Museum Satires No. 11205]." He leans back, pushing against the door-post, and the woman's chest, trying to escape, and saying: "Avaunt thee Satan." Two laughing prostitutes lean against him (left), pushing their posteriors against his, to prevent his escape; one of them, for better purchase, presses her hands and a foot against the post of the sign-board before the door. On this is a pictorial sign: 'Cat and Bagpipes'. A dog rushes barking towards the struggle. Behind (left), across the street, is a row of old houses with casement windows; washing hangs from a projecting pole."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
