- Abstract:
- "A bull (left) bellows angrily over a dilapidated paling at a picnic-party of 'cits' whose feast is spread on the grass under trees. An elderly lady remains seated, putting her hand on a pie; a younger one throws her arms round a man's neck, knocking off his hat; a plump lady, chicken-bone in one hand, fork in the other, clasps the second man; he, interrupted in drawing a cork, tramples on a fourth lady who clasps his legs. A little girl clutches the latter. An infant falls backwards, a little boy, seated with plate and knife in hand, looks at the bull. The men are vulgarly dandified, the women gaily dressed. All register terror. Behind (right) is the Thames, with St. Paul's, smoke, &c, in the distance."--British Museum online catalogue
