| Description |
English: Satire on London life. The interior of a milliner's shop into which a bull has charged causing consternation. Two drovers and their dogs have followed the bull through the door and one man belabours him with a stick. Two middle-aged women customers react with alarm, one falling off her chair, the other seizing her lapdog by the tail; a muff has fallen and the bull's horn impales it; a box with cards of lace falls to the floor; a young man (their servant?) wearing a hat with large feather seizes the sword of an effeminate man who shrinks back holding a strip of lace to his face while a small girl hides behind him. A lawyer has climbed on the counter and helps up a portly colleague who has dropped his brief on the floor. Behind the counter are three shop assistants: one faints and is supported by another who looks anxiously at the bull; a third who has climbed up to take down a box from a shelf behind the counter looks back in shock. Ribbons hang in the bow window and boxes stacked on the shelves incude one labelled "Gloves" and another labelled "Ribbons"; a hat box hangs on the wall to right. 17 August 1772

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
