The Rabbit Merchant — Thomas Rowlandson|Thomas Tegg

A man sells rabbits at the front door of a home at right. An old woman sniffs one of the rabbits, and says, "Sweet indeed why it smells Quite Strong." The merchant answers: "Yes Ma'am and so would you were you held in the same position." A dog bites at the rabbits behind the man's back at left.
