A corner, near the bank;-or-an example for fathers.-, James Gillray, 1797

An elderly man, bent to deformity, thin and shambling, in profile to the left, follows two flamboyant prostitutes who walk arm-in-arm, looking behind them. He supports himself on a walking-stick; from his pocket protrudes a book: 'modest prints'. The women's dresses trail on the pavement, but one lifts her skirt to display her legs. The background is formed of the massive stones at the corner of a high building. 26 september 1797 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1797. Dimensions: Height: 342 mm; Width: 252 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. A corner, near the bank;-or-an example for fathers.- (BM 1851,0901.880)
