Summary
Satire; a large, disparate crowd queue outside the arched entrance to 'Philip Hyson, Dealer in Teas', others carry tea away, including a drunkard and two lackeys carrying a chest to a gentleman's carriage; the people fight for precedence and comment on the fact that anyone can buy tea cheaply here; working proof. 17 February 1785
