Description Marginal water-staining. Line engraving by T. Cook after the original by William Hogarth (1697-1764). A scene in London, possibly near St Martin's-in-the-Fields, with a musician at an open window holding his ears against the noise of the street; a ballad-seller chants while her baby cries, a milkmaid and other street-traders cry their wares, one small boy plays a drum while another urinates under the startled gaze of a small girl who holds a rattle, an itinerant oboist plays, a knife-grinder sharpens a cleaver, and so on.
