A meeting of umbrellas [graphic]Gillray, James, 1756-1815, printmaker[25 January 1782]eng"Three men, each holding up an umbrella, meet and seem to find difficulty in passing. An officer, his hair in a long pigtail queue, walks (left to right), his umbrella held in his right hand and resting on his left shoulder. A lean man, holding his umbrella high, and with tasselled cane in his left hand, advances from the right. Between them, his umbrella resting on his right shoulder, a plainly dressed citizen stands full face, holding out his left hand as if to prevent a collision between the other two. A stone wall forms the background."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Printmaker from British Museum catalogue.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.1 print : etching on laid paper, hand-colored ; plate mark 22.2 x 17.6 cm, on sheet 24.8 x 19.7 cm.Mounted on leaf 13 of volume 7 of 12.
