Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Storm Shakes the Shield, sentence 26

At the tailor's were pictures of all kinds of clothing, to show that he could stitch up people from the coarsest to the finest; at the tobacco manufacturer's were pictures of the most charming little boys, smoking cigars, just as they do in reality; there were signs with painted butter, and herring, clerical collars, and coffins, and inscriptions and announcements into the bargain.

Who acts: tailor, people, signs · What happens: be, show, stitch up, smoke, do, paint · To what, where: pictures, people, cigars, reality · Speech: someone speaks here
