Summary
A colour card of a yard of a large house with a pair of peacocks visible on a wall in the background. In the yard is a covered area where two men are pressing fruit and the juice can be seen flowing from the press. In the foreground two men can be seen filling and sealing barrels with juice, while another is drawing some juice from one of the barrels. A group of four people are standing to the left talking and sampling the produce. Separately at the bottom, there is a depiction of five men playing with small objects in two separate games. Beneath is the explanatory text 'B124. October. Vintage; skittles with knuckle bones', 'Add. MS. 24098, f.27b', 'British Museum', 'Printed by Waterlow & Sons Limited. London'. On the reverse is 'Printed in England'
