- Abstract
-
"A pretty young woman swings high above the heads of the spectators, seated on a rope hung between two tall trees. A similar girl, and a young man who embraces her, pull at a rope which works the swing. An elderly parson of Syntax type (see British Museum Satires no. 11507, &c.), smoking and drinking on a bench, looks up delightedly at the girl's legs. Another, fat and humpbacked, flirts with a fat elderly woman. Three elderly farmers rush from the right to watch the display of legs, one waving a pipe and punch-bowl. A fat woman tugs angrily at the pigtail of one of them, kicking him behind; an elderly virago threatens them with her fist."--British Museum online catalogue.
