Summary

Well-dressed man walking down a sidewalk with a billygoat endowed with a man's face walking upright behind him. He almost steps on a "List of Contents in the House" which lays on the ground. The man passes a window where two servants, a woman and a Black man, who holds up one hand to make the sign of the "horns", laugh openly at the spectacle. A plaque on the building reads "Theatre Royale / this night will be / presented-- / a favorite old Piece / with the farce / of / Husbands and Wives / in which / will be introduced / a concert of / Horns."
