Labourers being shaved in a barber's shop on a Saturday evening. Etching by Thomas Jones after himself after C. Dibdin. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
"'Twas Saturday night, six went the clock, / Spruce was the barber's shop; / Wigs decorated every block, / From scratch to Tyburn-top. / Mambrino's helmet, scour'd so bright, / Smild to receive the suds; / And labourers flock'd to shave o'er night, / To grace their Sunday's duds. / Who each Saturday-night, / To get decent in plight, / Get shavid, fit for church on the Sunday ; / Of their transgressions sore, / To pay off the week's score, / The better to sin on the Monday. …"--Dibdin, loc. cit.
