CtY-LW - Abstract:
- "A horse-dealer stands at his door with a customer in riding-dress. In front (right) a groom shows the paces of a handsome high-stepping horse. The customer stands with folded arms, saying, "Well! I have no objection to the price, but you'll answer for it, He wo'nt refuse timber?*." The dealer, who wears a long coat with top-boots, and holds a coach-whip, holds out his top-hat towards the horse, saying, with a quizzical expression, "Refuse timber!!--Why he'll leap over your Head,--what do you think of that!!" Above the house door: 'A, Keen,
Horse Dealer'. Behind (right), across the road, is a pavement with two spectators, backed by a garden wall, screening trees and large detached houses."--British Museum online catalogue. - Variant Titles:
