A watercolour of a bustling street scene. Men and women have set out stalls selling second hand clothes ranging from breeches to boots. The shops display the proprietor's names on signs outside the shops. Many people observe the proceedings from windows above the shops, including an old man on the right who is wearing a cap and smoking a pipe. Rag Fair, near present-day Liverpool Street Station, was a market where old clothes and textiles were traded, and was renowned as a noisy area with a swift trade in stolen goods. Rowlandson made at least three other versions of this drawing.
