- Abstract
-
"Gilpin gallops (right to left) past the 'Bell' at Edmonton. His wife leans from the balcony over the door. With her are three children and a woman holding an infant. Two horsemen are in pursuit, one holds up Gilpin's wig. A spaniel barks. The inn appears to be drawn with some topographical correctness. A sign bestrides the road (right) with the words 'The Old Bell \ An Ordinar[y] \ Late Lan' and, below the bell, 'J. King from'. Another sign is on the front of the house."--British Museum online catalogue
