'The fellow 'prentices at their looms', plate I of 'Industry and Idleness', 1833. Early 19th century version of a scene from Hogarth's series of 1747; a Spitalfields silk-weaving shop, London. 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.
