Wellcome Collection
A barber-surgeons shop with anthropomorphic participants. Engraving, c. 1730, after E. van Heemskerk.
Egbert van Heemskerck · 1730
Lettering: A barbers shop a medley shews, of monsters, wigs, drawn-teeth and news. While one is shav'd another bleeds, a third the Grub Street Journal reads. The master full of whig and tory, talks politics and tells a story, and swears he is not such a sot, but that he knows full well, what's what.
