| Description | Print shows a banker astonished by a guinea coin with King George III on it. The banker says, "Surely my eyes do not deceive me--it certainly must be a Guinea!--I declare I have not seen such a thing since I have been in the Banking Line--Mercy on us--it may perhaps be one of the New Ghosts that go about--if thou beest a real guinea do drop in my till, and let me hear thee chink." Inscribed on the window pane behind him: "Tim Jenkins Banker--Paper Wholesale and Retail. NB--No Objection to take light Guineas for Goods." |
