'Every man has his price - Sir Rt Walpole, Market day, Sic itur ad astra', 1788. Smithfield Market cattle pens, at the corner of Smithfield and Cow Lane, filled with cattle with the faces of peers. In the background there is a pawn shop and the Crown Tavern. On the right the market bell is being rung by a man with a cynical smile.
