Heading to verses printed in two columns. After the title: 'An Original Tale, recited by Mr. Fawcett, at Covent-Garden Theatre'.

"The interior of a barber's shop. The barber, ranting and gesticulating wildly, holds up the open tragedy of Alexander the Great; in his right hand is a pair of tongs. His hair hangs loose and on his head is his barber's basin. He is fashionably dressed, but wears an apron, which, blowing aside in his violent action, displays a large hole in his breeches. A stool, jug, &c, have been overturned, hair-pins lie on the ground, a cat flees in alarm. His little apprentice (left), holding a wig and a tress of hair, looks on with amusement, as do a man and woman (right) who look over a flight of stairs which ascends from the room. The room is a poor one, with plaster coming from the wall, a broken candle on the chimney-piece, over which is a torn print of a tragedy-king reclining on a couch. Two wig-boxes stand on the floor, one inscribed 'Tragedy Wigs', the other 'Comedy Wigs'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A kitchen scene. A handsome young cook in her mistress's hat and gown, worn over her own cap and petticoat, with her breast bared, postures in the kitchen before a hanging mirror, holding out a fan. Three amused girls (a woman with two young girls) watch her from behind a door (right). On the floor is a broken dish with a fish on which a cat has pounced, and to the right a rolling pin, fork and spoon. A floured pudding is ready for cooking. On the shelves behind her are plates, platters and mugs; above the door, a small keg, wine bottle, and crocks. On the floor near the door are brooms and buckets
