[A crowd of spectators inside a theatrical tent at a country fair flee in terror as a tiger bursts through the canvas wall] [graphic].Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[1810]eng"The interior of a large theatrical tent with a raised stage, flats, and a well-drawn and realistic background, and (apparently) a door giving on to the stage. A large, fierce tiger bursts through the flimsy canvas wall, the audience flee in wild confusion or fall to the ground, three men add to the confusion by carrying off sturdy women. On the stage a warrior with a drawn sword staggers back in terror; a shield with a Gorgon's head has fallen from the stage. There is a background of battlements and a bridge."--British Museum online catalogueTitle devised by cataloger.Printmaker and date of publication from British Museum catalogue.Probably a reissue; first half of imprint statement has been burnished from plate.First series statement appears above image; second series statement appears below image."Price one shilling coloured."Sheet trimmed to plate mark on top edge.1 print : etching on wove paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 24.9 x 35.1 cm, on sheet 25.8 x 36.9 cm.Watermark: Charles Wise.Mounted on leaf 16 of volume 11 of 14 volumes.
