Etching of a top-hatted pipe seller holding up a clay pipe, surrounded by children, a dog and onlookers on a street.

An itinerant vendor selling pipes is surrounded by a crowd of children, dogs and passer-by. Etching by J.T. Smith, 1816.

A man in a tall top hat and long coat holds a clay pipe aloft while a crowd of children, passers-by and dogs gathers around him. A boy in a cap reads a printed sheet, and a basket lies on the ground in the foreground. The fine crosshatched etching gives the street scene a lively, busy texture.

Español: Vendedor ambulante de pipas rodeado de niños y perros, grabado de 1816

Un hombre con sombrero de copa y abrigo largo sostiene en alto una pipa de arcilla mientras lo rodea una multitud de niños, transeúntes y perros. Un niño con gorra lee una hoja impresa, y en primer plano hay una canasta en el suelo. El grabado de tramas cruzadas da a la escena callejera una textura viva y bulliciosa.
