Scope and Contents

Artist: Isaac Cruikshank. Published: Laurie and Whittle. A street scene in snow. A cook's boy has fallen, and the dishes from the tray on his head (a sucking-pig) slide to the ground. A man with skates muffled in great-coat and two ladies holding muffs to their faces hasten towards the spectator; others hurry along in back view. The nearest house is a 'Lottery office', a man comes out holding a ticket '5000 ... Blank'. In the background two men shovel snow from the roof of a high house onto passers by; one flees, another is prostrate. Description from the British Museum.
