Description
'The fellow 'prentices at their looms', plate I of "Industry and Idleness"; the scene is a Spitalfields silk-weaving shop. The industrious apprentice works busily while the idle apprentice has fallen asleep. The master enters, glares at the idle apprentice and threatens him with his stick. A page from Moll Flanders hangs above the head of the idle apprentice.
