- Abstract
-
"An elderly man, holding his umbrella in front of him to form a sail, cannonades into another skater, who falls, the apex of the umbrella entering his mouth, while his foot strikes the stomach of the aggressor. The ice cracks beneath them. The latter wears wrinkled ankle-boots; the victim resembles the more fashionable skater of BMSat 10474. In the background a boy with a basket laughs at the collision; near him a man falls forward, his umbrella and hat torn from him by a gust, whose strength is indicated by a wind-swept tree (r.)."--British Museum online catalogue.
