- Abstract:
- "The interior of a fruiterer's shop. Behind a counter sits a man (left) with long goat's horns and a goat's beard. He holds up his hand with an expression of dismay at a man who shows him a bust portrait of himself with horns and beard. The man, who wears a cockaded hat, is laughing. His arm is held by a man who stands behind him smiling and pointing a cane at the horned man, or 'Minogoat'. The latter's hand rests upon the counter on a sheaf of newspapers: 'Gazeter', 'London Spy', 'Morning Her[ald]', 'London Chronicle', 'London Gaz[ette]', A dwarfish newsboy stands in front of the counter blowing his horn, and offering him the 'Morning Post'. The boy is very bandy-legged; his cap is decorated with a leek, suggesting that it is St. David's day. On the ground (right) is a basket containing pottles of fruit which a goat is befouling. In what appears to be an inner room or recess (right) a table is laid with dishes of fruit, glasses, and an urn; four people are seated at it: a man and woman laughing and talking together in an absorbed way; a man who points out this couple to a companion. Wilkes (unmistakable from his squint) stands behind holding out his hat. Fruit hangs in the panes of the shop window which is immediately behind the Minogoat, who appears to be a Welsh shop-keeper. On the upper and lower margins of the print ten lines of verse are engraved".--British Museum online catalogue
