Jests Home
IT being remarked of a picture of The Lord Mayor and Court of
Aldermen, in the Shakespeare Gallery, that the varnish was chilled and
the figures rather sunk, the proprietors directed one of their
assistants to give it a fresh coat of varnish. Must I use copal or
mastic? said the young man. Neither one nor the other, said a
gentleman present; if you wish to bring the figures out, varnish it
with turtle soup.
