A Humorous Scene at the Regatta. Lon. Mag.
Publish'd as the Act directs Aug.t 1. 1775.
Engraving. 105 x 165mm (4 x 6½"), large margins.
A satire of a regatta on the Thames, with spectators taking every opportunity to see the race. Held on Friday, 23rd June 1775, and watched by the Duchess of Devonshire, boats with crews of 12 watermen rowed from Westminster Bridge to London Bridge and back, followed by a procession to Chelsea Hospital and on to the Rotunda at Ranelagh. The event is regarded as the first regatta on the Thames, although 'Doggett's Coat and Badge', a watermans' race from London Bridge to Cadogan Pier, has been held since 1715 and is the oldest continuous rowing race in the world.
