This illustration for the cover of the sheet music Buy My Images is an etching of the comic singer and ballad writer Thomas Hudson dressed as an Italian hawker of cheap sculpted portrait busts. The text by Hudson identifies the busts on his tray as Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Walter Scott, Robert Burns, Milton, Lord Nelson, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, while he holds Lord Wellington in his right hand. The first verse entreats in broken English: 'Will you buy Images? Images cry, Very fine very pretty, very cheap will you buy? Poor Italiano him never in de glooms, All sort Images beautiful your rooms.'
