- "Two burly women, almost naked above the waist, fight vigorously, surrounded by a yelling crowd. The scene is an irregular space surrounded by old-fashioned houses, and crowded with spectators, eager or disgusted. In the foreground (left) an apple-woman's barrow is upset and she sprawls across it to grab the head of a little boy who is collecting apples. Among the crowd are a porter carrying a trunk on his knot, and a woman with a basket of vegetables on her head. Adjacent houses have inscriptions: 'British Gin', 'Licensed Lottery Office Tickets Shares', and (with the sign of three balls) 'Mony Lent on Pledges Gripp Licensed Pawn Brokers'."--British Museum online catalogue.
