The Goat without a Beard. Monkeys shave a foppish goat in a barber's shop. A monkey in apron sharpens a razor on a strop, while others prepare shaving cream and bib. Wigs and perruques hang on the wall, a water pot on the floor. Copperplate engraving by William Blake after an illustration by John Wootton from Fables by John Gay, with a Life of the Author, John Stockdale, London, 1793.
