Sports of a country fair. Part the second
Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827 · October 5, 1810
A nearer view of the same fair : the thick of the crowd ; stick-throwing for snuffboxes, oyster-opening, pocket-picking, and a round-about swing ; one of the boats is giving way, and a fair swinger and her swain are falling through. There is an inn where cordials are supplied, through the windows of which various scenes of love-making are visible. In the distance may be seen Polito's stage-booths, horse-racing, and other diversions.
