Subject: RE: Meaning of sketches, 18thc
Many thanks to all. It looks like hautboy would be fine in the late 18thc which is when the broadside was printed. I still have that nagging feeling that 'sketcher' was a cant term for a coin or am I thinking of 'tester'? Grey matter and senility are battling away in there.
