Abstract:: "Interior of a poorly-appointed barber's shop. The barber (left) is shaving a customer who sits in profile to the left facing the window, he holds his razor carelessly, to his customer's alarm, while looking eagerly towards another customer, who sits (right) on a stool in profile to the left, reading from the 'Morning Chronicle'. The barber's assistant or apprentice, a small ragged fellow, gapes up at the reader, he straddles across the stand of a barber's block on which is the wig which he is combing. Two other customers listen intently, both wear aprons, one of them is a shoemaker with a last under his arm. The man reading is shown to be a tailor by the yard-measure which hangs from his coat-pocket. On the wall hang coat, hat, wig, a broken looking-glass, a ballad, a roller-towel. In the window wigs are suspended. On the floor are two wig-boxes (left), inscribed 'Mr Deputy Grizzle' and 'Mr Snipp', a barber's bowl, and a night-cap."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Simple-minded people gaze up at placards inviting subscriptions to unsound companies. A high wall runs from a house partly visible on the extreme left, to the street corner, enclosing a large building placarded Hospital for Incurables Supported by Voluntary Subscribers [i.e. for victims of speculation mania]. On the right are old-fashioned houses, one of which is alined with a church, the scene suggesting one of the older parts of the City of London with seventeenth-century houses. The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--.

On the opposite side of the wide irregular street is a low-grade barber's shop, with the barber shaving a customer in the doorway. Outside the door his dwarfish assistant sharpens a razor on a grindstone. Above the door is a large tilted board: Tim, Slashem Barber and Perriwig Maker--begs leave to inform the patronizers of Merit--that he means to form a New Company of Mowers of Beards having discovered a New Machine to Shave 60 men in a minute, to comb oil and powder their wigs in the Bargain. NB. Bleeding and Teeth drawn gratis. The striped pole slants forward above the board. At a casement window under the roof a woman is washing; a cat prowls on the tiles. This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here. Spectators gaze at the bills in the foreground, middle distance, and background. On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement. On the right a countryman on horseback followed by his dog stares up at the barber's notice, as does a bearded Jew carrying a sack (of old clothes)."--British Museum online catalogue
