Title
An old lady selling matches, with boat masts in the backgrou
Description

An old lady selling matches, with boat masts in the background. Soft-ground etching, 1801. It reads:
There was an old woman in Rosemary Lane
She cut them and dipt them and I did the same
Come buy my fine matches, come buy them of me
They are as fine matches as e'er you did see
They are as fine matches you can desire
For lighting of candles or kindling of fires
