- Depiction: A half-clad slave of the thimble is shown squatting on his board in a squalid hovel. His half-starved "helper" is seated by his side. Both are pressing garments with hot irons, and a rough and ragged urchin is heating a further supply of the article known as "a tailor's goose" at the grate, while a street hawker, a blowsy Hibernian, is screaming her wares (cucumbers and cabbages) in at the doorway.
