Published by S Fores N.o 3 Piccadilly May 26 1784
Rare etching, sheet 225 x 320mm (8¾ x 12¾"). Trimmed within plate. Some surface dirt.
A satirical depiction of Fox’s (1749-1806) chairing after the Westminster election on 17 May shows a chaotic, carnival-like procession in Covent Garden. A woman (likely the Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1806), rides a donkey waving a fox tail, cheered by crowds. Behind her are odd figures, including one carrying a coffin marked "Memento Memori 1784" and butchers with cleavers and a banner reading "Constitutional Supporters." Fox himself is shown as a bizarre, non-human figure seated in a branch-covered chair with a flag praising "Female Patriotism." The scene is wildly exaggerated, with dense crowds, music, embracing couples, and a flag condemning election scrutiny mocking the whole event as absurd and disorderly.

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.
