Abstract:
"This engraving represents a circular building, with conical roof of tiles, shown in two sections, and partly in perspective. Within the building is a large wheel turned by a horse and giving motion to a considerable number of spindles, to which are attached disks; on each of the disks are several razors, which are thus set in action on the faces of the men who apply their cheeks to openings in the inner wall of the building. Exterior to this inner wall is a gallery where stand the men who are thus expeditiously shaved; their hats hang on pegs, each over the hole to which the owner has applied himself. In the gallery several men are finishing or preparing for their toilettes. The operation of dressing a wig is shown below the wheel, on our right, where many combs are placed on a drum which revolves like a water-wheel before a man's wig, placed on a block near it."--British Museum catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A realistic bedroom scene; the bed (right) in a curtained alcove. A man reclines in a long oval (portable) bath, full to the brim; seemingly of tin, with handles, with a pillow to support the head. One man shaves him, another massages his foot, while a coffee-tray floats on (or stands in) the water. He holds a delicately balanced spoon. A wig, simulating natural hair, stands on a tall wig-block; another stand supports a coat; a dandy's trousers lie on a chair. There is a small dressing-table with shaving materials and stoppered bottles. The room is otherwise bare, with no suggestion of luxury."--British Museum online catalogue
