Scene in a Country Town at the Time of a Race.
Drawn by W. Mason Esq.r. Engrav'd by V Green.
Publish'd March 27th 1789 by F. Brydon, Printseller & Framemaker, opposite Northumberland House, Charing Cross, London.
A very large & rare etching, with hand colour. Sheet 445 x 600mm (17½ x 23¾"). Trimmed to plate; worm holes filled, mainly in title area.
A chaotic scene in a High Street, probably York as the artist William Mason was Canon Residentiary of York and Rector of Aston. A stagecoach and personal carriages crash into each other, much to the amusement of spectators looking from the windows of the Red Lion coaching inn. Adding to the noise are coach passengers beating a drum and blowing a trumpet, a fiddler and a ballad singer. Other figures include a gipsy woman sitting on the pavement, a Jewish pedlar clutching his box on the roof of the stagecoach and a man riding a racehorse through the melée. The BM's example is trimmed to the image, but has a 1908 report that gives the title and describes an earlier state, ''Publish'd July 26th 1783 by V. Green, N°29 Newman Street, Oxford Street & Sold by F Brydon, Printseller, N° 7, opposite Northumberland House, Charing Cross, London''. See Ref: 31344 for Frank Paton's Christmas Card design.
