Notes:
Mincing Lane, where the pre-sale exhibition was held, was then a center of the tea brokerage, although the brokers that form the subjects of Lib's satirical brush seem to be from every field of business. The press notices at the beginning of the work describe Prosperi as a "wicked caricaturist, who has followed the brokers into their own familiar haunts, and caught their airs and graces, their poses and peculiarities, with an alarming degree of faithfulness."
