Street music: A bird mimic, 1816
A street musician who mimics the notes of common English birds by means of a folded bit of tin, which is held between the teeth; but in order to engage the attention of the credulous, he pretends ro draw his tones from two tobacco pipes. A boy in the foreground appears to be selling sheet music. Date: 1816
