The Jew beauties a whimsical song, sung by Mr. Fawcett, at Covent Garden Theatre. [graphic]

"A fashionably dressed man (left) regards apprehensively a young woman (right) who holds out her fists as if sparring; he makes as if to depart. Both have Jewish features and curling hair. On the wall are three boxing pictures: 'The Game Chicken', half length, flanked by men sparring. The Jew relates with Jewish pronunciation his attempts to find a wife. Miss Devy jilted him, Miss Rachel's father sold watches and rings: 'And dere vas nothing to do but buy de ring out of her fader's shop - but ve couldn't agree about de price . . .' Then Miss Moses: 'Her Broder vash mighty rich, and got money in de shtocks, He vashn't so vulgar to get it by trade, but taught de great people to spa and to box.'"--British Museum online catalogue
