Fourth print in the Miseries of Human Life series. A scene in the Strand, showing Ackermann’s shop. In the foreground a man and dog chase a hat, followed by a small butcher’s boy (left). Two fat women with baskets on their heads watch from the right. On the pavement is an amused muffin-man, ringing his bell. A woman helps herself to a muffin. A young woman stands on the pavement, her hands in a large muff, her feathered hat sailing upwards. In the middle distance the road is blocked by a scavenger’s cart, from which a dense cloud rises, and men with shovels and broom. Ackermann’s is a house with four first-floor windows. The (glass) door is inscribed Caricatures and N 101 Strand; above it is a tilted board: Ackermann’s Repository of Arts. On the left of the door is an ale-house window from which two grinning men look out. Below: 'Chasing your hat (just blown off in a high wind), through a muddy street – a fresh gust always whisking it away at the moment of seizing it;- when you have at last caught it, deliberately putting it on, with all its sins upon your head, amidst the jeers of the populace.' Partial description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VIII.
