- Abstract
-
"A front elevation of a theatre-box crammed with delighted children fills the design. In the front row are a lady and four little girls. In the middle sits the father, one small boy on his knee, an arm round another child. Eight more children fill the box. Behind them a lady chooses fruit from an old woman's basket. Two men stand behind. Over the front of the box hangs a playbill: During the Xmas Holidays--Pantomime of Harliquin--Clown by Mr G [Grimaldi]."--British Museum online catalogue
