Summary
Print shows the interior of a draper's or dry goods shop. A fashionably clad travelling salesman holds out a sample book to the shop's proprietor, saying: Fine Choice of Patterns Sir all the Rage in Town I hope Sir you will give me an Order; the shopowner glares at him, replying: Yes I'll give thee an Order and that is to March out of my shop for I don't like thee looks o'thee. In the background at right, a store employee behind the counter with a bolt of fabric looks on.
