Scope and Contents

Engraving (coloured impression) By Newton. A middle-aged woman walks in profile to the right, wearing a high-crowned bonnet and a pelisse, buttoned from neck to hem, which projects before her, short enough to show her clumsy legs. Her hands are in a large muff. She says, "They'll certainly hear the news before I reach the long pavement". Behind her (Ieft) is the corner of a stone wall inscribed Stoney Street. In the background (right) is a church. Identified as 'A Miss Sherwin of Nottingham'. Description from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VI. 8172.
