Miss Kitty and the Bag
This print is one of ten illustrations in 'Songs of the Late Charles Dibdin' (with some others) collected by his son Thomas Dibdin (John Murray, London, 1841) f. p. 14, where the title is strictly 'Miss Kitty & the Bag' in capitals.
It illustrates the song 'When Last from the Straits' on the facing page, about a sailor avoiding being robbed by a 'lady of the town'. The image is of the sailor and 'Miss Kitty' in the street, with him showing her the coins he has managed to keep as she dabs a weeping eye with her apron. For a full list of the illustrations see PAJ1820 (the first). [PvdM 1/18]
