A sly street musician, pretending to play the violin with the stems of two pipes, is surrounded by a mixed audience of children, dogs, and adults of both sexes. The full caption reads as follows: " Street musician, who mimics the notes of the common English birds by means of a folded bit of tin, which is held between the teeth; but in order to engage the attention of the credulous, he pretends to draw his tones from two tobacco pipes."
