Above the penthouse stall is a placard, 'Simon Snip - maks &amp; mendes Mens &amp; Buoys reddy mad Close. N.B. nete Gallows for Breaches.' A garment and a pair of braces hang on a line; within a window is a sheet of patterns. The other, who is neatly dressed, carries a coat under his arm; a book of patterns protrudes from his coat pocket. A street receding in perspective (right) and the façade of a dignified house (left) form a background."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title engraved below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Variant state, with publication date etched in lower right corner of plate.
