This drawing of a sausage seller is the design for a print which was never made. It relates to Paul Sandby's print series, 'Twelve Cries of London...', which is subtitled 'Part Ist', indicating that further prints were intended. In fact there are seventy-six drawings relating to the series, which are now split between several public collections.

The draft verse at the bottom reads: 'rare Bologna Puddings and sausages / Polones, Polones, choice & fine, to Relish your Beer, Ale or Wine'. The first line is written in black iink, the secod in brown, suggesting they were written at different times. Possibly the first line was intended as a title. < Hide
