Abstract:
"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
