Characteristics or England Ireland and Scotland Three dandified men walk arm-in-arm along the pavement of a London square, their words engraved below the title. The Englishman stares in at the window of Tippet . Haber-Dasher &c, where a pretty woman is seen displaying her wares. He says: I say—there’s a—fine Girl! Let’s go in & ask if Mr Thomson lives there? & have a Chat with her. The Irishman turns to the Scot, saying jovially, Och—by my Soul but we’ll buy Something of the dare Cratur—Oh the Swate little Jewel! The Scot, more soberly dressed than the others, answers: Hoo’t a'wa Mon. Dunn'a throw awa the Siller! we’ll jost gang in & a'ask for twa & Sixpence for ha'alfa Croon. In the adjacent (corner) shop, Man Milliner, ladies gowns are displayed.no imprint is visible possible even cropped from the bottom edge? but it is believed to be the same as the example in the British Library “Drawn by M.E.Esqr. / Engd. by Geo. Hunt / Pub Jany 1825 by Pyall & Hunt, 18, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden” [M Egerton] -- source link
