[London : Richard Phillips, 1804]. An attractive and unusual antique print - "Six bunches a penny sweet lavender" was the cry - the lavender was placed among freshly-washed linen to overcome the pungent smell of contemporary soap.

Engraved from an original study by William Marshall Craig (fl.1788-1828), water-colour painter to Queen Charlotte. Originally produced for Phillips' part-work "Modern London : Being the History and Present State of the British Metropolis" (London : 1804), but here in a slightly later impression with the outer ruled border, imprint and credit burnished out.
