A housemaid (left), very erect, has a wooden bucket for a body supported on a mop and a long-handled floor-polisher, and is also concocted of a broom, a dust-pan, a brush, and a hearth-brush, with a check duster, &amp;c. A cook (right) seems to bow courteously towards the housemaid. She is made of a 'Flour' barrel supported on a large ladle and two-pronged fork; a covered pot with pot-hooks hanging from the handle, a rolling-pin (as right arm) to which a colander is attached. There are also a grid-iron (or save-all), a small saucepan, a salt-box, and dangling metal skewers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Later state, with first half of imprint statement burnished from plate.</dc:description><dc:description>Date of publication based on complete imprint on earlier state: Pubd.
