- Abstract
-
"A bedroom scene. A plump lady sits in a chair, making gestures of pain with hands and legs, while a hairdresser combs her back hair, and a negress combs a tress pulled forward over the face. Behind (left) another hairdresser combs the tousled hair of a lean man, who registers anguish. Below the design: 'Struggling through the curse of trying to disentangle your hair when by poking curiously about on board of Ship, it has become clammed and matted with pitch or tar far beyond all the powers of the comb.'"--British Museum online catalogue
