date: August 4, 1806

description: Against the wall next to the door is a pump at which there are three ragged children: a little boy pumps, another kneels to put his mouth to the gushing water, while a little girl with a raw turnip eagerly waits her turn. On the pump are two inscriptions. By the children is a hoop-stick and a hoop from a barrel. On the left. are barrels inscribed 'Home-Brew'd Small-Beer Ten Shillings a Barrel Duty'. Across the road is a pawnshop with the sign of the three balls. In the upper windows of the prosperous shop are piles of moneybags inscribed 'Pension' and 'Sinecure'. Source: George.
