'Buy my Goose, my fat Goose'. A fat tradesman stands at the door of a house chattering with an elderly couple, in each hand he holds a goose by the neck. The woman holds a third goose to her nose with an expression of suspicious anger, whilst her husband holds out both his hands in protest. Plate II of Cries of London, 1799.
