[Three Street Scenes.]
[n.d. c.1850.]
Etching. 152 x 247mm. 6 x 9¾".
The first section depicts a knife-grinder sharpening outside a gentleman's window. Rid of the grinding in the second scene, the gentleman is left content, but disturbed again by the "Black Plague" this time, a group of Black musicians, which similarly appears to anger the men in the background. The third scene shows the aforementioned gentleman in his study reading, but raises his head towards the window to be disturbed further by the "jumpers of the jungle" acrobats.
