# Long description

This is a black and white cartoon drawing of a man. He has long, curled hair and wears spectacles. He wears a long coat with turned up cuffs, a frilled shirt, and boots with spurs. The man smiles, staring at a coin in his hand. In his other hand is an ornate cane and he wears a sword. The ‘buttons’ on his coat are also coins and his hat has two peaks rising at the front. A small patch of earth is sketched below the man’s feet. There is no other background. At the bottom of the image are the words: ‘The Antiquarian’ printed in block text. Below this are the words: ‘Pub[lishe]d as the Act directs Sep 9 1773 by M Darly 39 Strand.’
