"Ah, grant a me von letel bite" (BM 1851,0901.38)

Design in a circle. Two boys (three quarter length) stand against a stone wall. An English boy (right) with tousled hair and wearing a shirt which is out at elbows, holds a large bone in both hands. Ribs of beef project from the pocket of his apron. He is perhaps intended for a butcher's boy. A French boy (left) stands beside and slightly behind him, the tips of his fingers held together, begging for "von letel Bite". He wears a toupet-wig and bag, and is fashionably dressed. 1 December 1780
