Description
A topographical view of the turnpike, showing the chapel (left) and houses in the distance. In the foreground are figures, humorously drawn (left to right): a man and woman, 'cits', in a gig, with kicking horse; a boy galloping on an ass with panniers; a couple riding, and in difficulties; two pretty milk-maids are ogled by a decrepit man; an elderly man draws three children in a go-cart; beside him are two fat women and a little boy. A (?) blind fiddler plays, while a woman beside him begs. A stage-coach in back view has just passed through the gate. A fat man finds difficulty in squeezing through the posts for pedestrians; a reissue. 1798, this state 1813. Hand-coloured aquatint over etching.
