"Another version, reversed and altered, of British Museum Satires no. 8196 (1772). A fat woman on her back has been added to the group of two fleeing men, and beside the three men standing on the bank is a fat woman, horrified at the calamity."--British Museum online catalogue.
"Skaters have fallen upon breaking ice, some lie flat; heads and legs and arms emerge in wild confusion. In the middle distance (right) two skaters, one a parson, flee headlong from the danger-spot. On the shore (left) three men stand watching the catastrophe with amusement. Farther off is a marquee within which are tiny figures seated at a table."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier version.
