A later state of George 7080; dated 1787 instead of 1786, with the imprint of S.W. Fores instead of B. Smith.
Library's copy trimmed to plate mark.
Print shows a fashionably dressed man (right) walking from Bond Street into Piccadilly and a fashionably dressed woman (left), apparently a courtesan, stare fixedly at each other. He walks in profile to the left and resembles George Hanger: he holds a large tasselled bludgeon under his left arm. He wears a high cocked hat with a feather and cockade and spurred top-boots. The woman wears a large feathered hat and holds a muff; her petticoats project at the back (cf. BMSat 6874, &c.) and show her ankles. Behind the figures is the lower part of the corner shop at the SW. of Bond Street, the Piccadilly window inscribed '. . . Roll Maker', the Bond Street window, 'Paym . . . dge Roll' (the omitted words being obscured by the hats of the two walkers). From the former window-ledge hangs a pair of breeches. On the extreme right is a low shed or bulk against the wall of the shop, which is inscribed 'Shoes Men[ded]'; a man sits within. The names of the streets, 'Piccadilly', 'Bondstreet', are inscribed on the corner of the building.
