by Tho.s Tegg 111 Cheapside. [Date of Nov.r 1.st 1815 removed from plate]
Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
A clerk takes round the plate collecting donations with a sly smile. The congregation eagerly hasten to contribute handsomely, making various remarks. Despite the parson's insistence that anyone 'not in a state of solvency' should not make a donation, the congregation clearly feel under pressure to do so, borrowing from their neighbour where necessary.
