Taking pot luck [graphic]Baldrey, Joshua Kirby, 1754-1828, printmaker[1 July 1799]eng"A sequence of disasters: a servant (left), entering with a joint of meat, is tripped up by a dog, falls forward, bringing his dish down heavily on the head of one diner. The latter falls backwards, grabbing the table, which tilts and, together with a plate of soup, strikes his 'vis-à-vis' under the chin. The contents of a large tureen deluge the falling man. A second servant (right) runs forward with uplifted arms. Two lighted candles fall with the table."--British Museum catalogueTitle etched below image.Plate numbered '10' in upper right corner.Sheet trimmed to and within plate mark.
