Pubd. Sept.r, 21st 1815. by Tho.s Palser Westminster Bridge Road, Lambeth.
Coloured etching, sheet 295 x 210mm (11¾ x 8¼"). Trimmed, mount burn and foxing
George Wilson, the 'Blackheath Pedestrian', sets out on his thousand-mile walk, September 19th, 1815. The intention was to walk around and around the heath - a thousand miles in a thousand hours - and attracted a huge number of spectators. The walk was not completed because the authorities, fearing a riot, arrested George. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, pedestrianism was a popular spectator sport. Interest has waned, although it is still an Olympic sport.
