Abstract:
"A parson, grotesquely fat, short, and carbuncled, stands in profile to the right. addressing an old woman seated outside the open door of a gin-shop, smoking a pipe. She holds a small tankard and a glass. He says, with an expression of scandalized horror: "Woman - are you not ashamed of yourself to be sitting smoking and drinking in Service time! - do you know Who I am woman? - I am the Parson of the Parish." She looks over her shoulder at him, puffing a cloud of smoke contemptuously in his face and says: "More shame for you I say, to be walking about troubling your head with other peoples consarns - when you ought to be in Church Preaching your Sarmint!!" A small dog walks by the parson. Over the door (right) is 'Rich Cordial Gin' in large letters. A shallow zinc tray covers a counter just within the door. Into this runs a vertical pipe with two taps. On it stands a miniature cask bestraddled by a Bacchus. Behind it is a large cask of 'Old Tom'. Opposite, and on the extreme left., is the corner of a pawn-shop, with the sign of three balls. In the background are a church and houses in a street."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
