(A grinder of music.) (BM 1927,0308.127)

Plate 34 to 'Eccentric Excursions, or. Literary & Pictorial sketches of Countenance, Character and Country, in ..... England & South Wales'.
Design in a circle. An elderly man (three-quarter length) seated in a chair turns the handle of a barrel-organ (right), his left hand, held out with a declamatory gesture, rests on the organ. He turns up his eyes theatrically. He is foppishly but not fashionably dressed, wearing an ornate waistcoat with broad lapels. See BMSat 8962. 5 November 1796
