The Hopes of the Fammily, or Miss Marrowfat at Home for the Holidays, 1809

Scope and Contents

A hand-coloured print of the living quarters of a butcher's shop in which a young girl entertains an older woman by playing the guitar and singing. The older woman looks at the girl with pride and pleasure. In the corner of the room, a chimney climber boy stands gasping in admiration at the music. A portrait of 'Deputy Marrowfat' hangs on the wall showing the profile of a man in exactly the same aspect of the butcher who, standing on the right, cuts meat for an old woman holding a baby in a partially covered workshop. Inscribed in the plate: 'London Pubd by Thos Tegg No 111 Cheapside / Rowlandson Del'. Description from the Royal Collection Trust.
