Abstract:
"Seven men (three-quarter length) are grouped round a card-table in a Smithfield tavern. One (right), young and innocent, inspects his cards; beside him an older countryman lies back asleep (right), his dog resting his head on his knee. The other gambler (left), holding his cards, looks at his victim. Three onlookers have crafty expressions. A fat man, smoking, approaches with a bowl of punch. In the bar (left) a fat woman chalks up a score. Coins, a watch, and pocket-book are on the table. A broken mirror and a picture of a horse decorate the walls. Beneath the table are twelve lines describing the sleep of 'Old Trusty' while his son is cheated by 'the Harpy-Tribe'."--Biriths Museum online catalogue
Alternative Title:
Countrymen defrauded
Description:
Title from item., Curator's note from British Museum catalogue: The card-playing sharper is a portrait of Rowlandson, the country lad is reputed to be J. K. Sherwin; though this seems unlikely, since Sherwin was then thirty-six, the identification is supported by the self-portrait of the engraver. In 'The Gamesters', a mezzotint by Ward, after Peters, 1786, the card-sharper holding an ace behind his back is Rowlandson [Said to be the Prince of Wales, according to Challoner Smith (iv. 1485).]; the resemblance to the card-player in this plate, and in a mezzotint, 'A Game at Cribbage' ... is convincing., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Twelve lines of verse in two columns on either side of title: Old Trusty with his town made friends ..., Temporary local subject terms: Gambling: sharpers -- Furniture: card-table -- Furniture: bar -- Countrymen -- Card players -- Barmaids -- Pocketbooks., and Mounted to 38 x 49 cm.
