Miseries of travelling 6. Dialogue / [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker, artist[1 January 1807]eng"A man enters a room where three men and two ladies stand at a dinner-table, waiting for him, all frankly amused at his appearance. He wears a great-coat many sizes too large and knee-breeches which hang to the ankle. His large obese host laughs, holding his sides. A grinning and loutish footman holds the chair which he is to take; another servant, also grinning, enters behind the unfortunate guest. Whole length portraits fill the spaces between pseudo-Gothic windows."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Text below title: Starting for a long ride, on a dinner engagement without a great coat, in a mist, a mizzle, a drizzle, a rain, a torrent ...Illustration to James Beresford's Miseries of human life, 1806.
