- Abstract
-
A young fashionably dressed man casually swings a club around him which knocks an older lady and her apple cart clear into the air. From the caption: ... the manner of using it is the fashionable swing, as directed in the first article; it may be necessary to observe that the practitioner should be a person of some rank in life, to give the proceedings an eclat this with a proper portion of common assurance, aided by inebriety, will enable him to knock down men, women, children, and apple stalls with impunity and at the same time preserve a perfect sang froid on the occassion

Title from letterpress caption below image.
Pen and ink drawing on a broadside with typeface and ornamental border.
Nine lines of typeface caption below title: Is the last distinction, and most to be dreaded; a little stick well knotted about three feet in length, or shorter, as may be found convenient must be provided ... This is a pleasing study for city apprentices, who wish to ape the fashionable manners of the West End of the town.
One of a series of six drawings by Woodward with the same typescript heading.
