The art of walking the streets of London. [graphic] / Plate 1stCruikshank, George, 1792-1878, printmaker[1 January 1818]eng"Four designs on one plate [1] 'How to carry an Umbrella--' A pedestrian slanting his umbrella against driving rain plants it in the face of a man walking towards him. Behind, another drives the ferrule into the face of a blind man who is being led by a dog across the road (right). A short lady, passing a dandy who also holds an umbrella, raises hers so high that she breaks a street lamp. [2] 'How to Turn a Corner--' A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029), hands on hips, swaggers round a corner knocking down a fat fellow in old-fashioned dress. There are four other pedestrians, a dandy walking with two ladies, and a stout elderly man. [3] 'How to clear the Streets--' Five men with linked arms, would-be fashionables, have overturned one man; one of them kicks a fishwoman behind; her basket falls from her head and she is falling. A woman and little boy flee from the roisterers. [4] 'How to Attract public Notice--' A man dressed as a dandy, wearing grotesque trousers gathered in at the ankle, and staring through an eye-glass, walks with a fat bedizened woman wearing a gigantic feathered bonnet and holding up a parasol. Four passers-by point and jeer, or stare in astonishment, the latter being a yokel and a little maidservant hurrying with a basket of vegetables and the door-key."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Plate numbered "179" in upper right corner.Plate from: Woodward, G.M.
