- Abstract
-
"A pedestrian struggles through deep slushy snow, facing driving snow, with a broken umbrella, the spokes projecting through the cover. He clutches at his cloak and hat; he wears gaiters to the knee with socks over them, and overshoes. Cape and comforter stream behind him. In the background is a row of three- and four-storied houses, some with shop-fronts. He shouts his greeting in the teeth of the storm to the woman in British Museum Satires No. 15000, a companion plate with the same signatures and imprint. A carriage and pair faces the storm, the coachman's cape swirling above his head. Men shovel the snow from the roofs, overturning a passer-by."--British Museum online catalogue
