George Wilson, The Celebrated Blackheath Pedestrian, Born 24th June 1766, in Love Lane, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who has performed the most extraordinary Feats in Walking of any Man in the Kingdom both in length of distance and number of Walking Matches, especially at his advanced Age.
E. Gerard Pinx, Norwich. H.y Adlard, Sculp, London.
London, Published by Geo.e Wilson, 17th March, 1821.
Etching. 330 x 240mm (13 x 9½"), with very large margins. Bit dusty.
George Wilson (1766-1839), known as the 'Blackheath Pedestrian' for his attempt to walk a thousand miles around the heath in 20 days for a prize of £100. He failed because the authorities charged him with disturbing the peace because of the crowds that followed him. Although he was acquitted his arrest made the feat impossible, so he lost the prize, but a collection at the London Stock Exchange matched the £100 within two hours.
