About this Item
Description:
Hand-coloured etching on half a folio sheet. 19 x 24cm. Not in BM; no copies on Copac or OCLC. The engraving, above ten lines of printed text, depicts a tavern scene in which the landlord stares at a clock saying 'There they go' as two shifty looking sharpers head for the exit. The two charlatans persuade the landlord to take a bet for £10 challenging him to look at the clock for fifteen minutes without faltering whilst repeatedly saying 'There they go'. As the two sharpers run off with the landlord's money, he is focused on the challenge at hand thereby losing his money but winning the bet. P.A.H. Brown records John Bailey, printer, as being at 116 Chancery Lane between 1808 and 1822. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT. Seller Inventory # 84515
