The man answers: "Yes Ma'am and so would you were you held in the same position". He holds the rabbits slung to the ends of a pole held across his shoulder, with another bunch in his left hand. A dog bites at the rabbits behind the man's back to the amusement of a chimney-sweep's boy (left), who passes by, bent under his bag of soot. The houses on the opposite side of the cobbled street are old-fashioned, gabled, and irregular; against one (left) is a bulk or stall inscribed 'Coblers Work Done here', the cobbler leans out to talk to a woman. Next is the sign of 'The Flowerpot'."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.</dc:description><dc:description>Publisher and date of publication from British Museum catalogue and Grego.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate numbered "25" in upper right corner.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
