A new cock wanted, or, Work for the plumber [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 20 April 1810]eng"The interior of an old-fashioned kitchen with raftered roof. A buxom maidservant with an alluring glance shows a handsome young plumber that the tap over the sink (left) needs renewing, since the water splashes widely. He carries a coil of lead piping, a new tap, tools, and a ladle for melting lead. Behind them (right) an irate old man wearing a dressing-gown advances upon the unconscious pair. Above the sink is a stone panel inscribed 'Anno Domini 1730 George II Rex'. Dishes are ranged on and under a dresser (right) on which sits a cat beside a bottle of 'Gin'. Hams hang from the roof and a bird is in a cage high on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Printmaker from description of earlier state in the British Museum catalogue.Later state, with first half of imprint statement burnished from plate.Date of publication based on complete imprint from earlier state: Pubd.
