Bachelors Fare - or Bread and Cheese with Kisses (caricature)
Plate No. 365.
This 18th-century caricature shows a sailor having a meal with a young woman. The scene seems innocent enough until the viewer notices that he is actually conducting a business transaction; presenting coins in return for her sexual favours.
