"Heading to engraved verses: 'The Words written by Peter Pindar Esqr.' A countryman, in shirt and breeches, rushes furiously from his cottage (l.) towards a complacent bagman with a sack over his shoulder and razors projecting from his coat-pocket. He stanches his bleeding face and holds out a bundle of razors to the man who has sold them. The salesman answers angry protests: "Upon my soul I never thought "That they would Shave." .... "What were they made for then, you dog?" he cries "Made!" quoth the fellow, with a smile, "to Sell!""--British Museum online catalogue
