He is followed by three grooms on horseback. The man leans from the off window of the coach, the lady from the near window; both aim pistols at the father who is close behind them. Two postilions ride the near horses. A signpost (right) points 'To Gretna Green'. A group of trees and a cloud of dust form the background."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below item.Sheet trimmed within plate mark, resulting in loss of text. Cf.
