- Abstract
-
"A pretty girl (left) and a handsome young officer in regimentals (right) stand facing each other; he holds her hand, and places a ring on her finger. The grotesque elderly man, more parson than blacksmith, stands between them, bawling from a book and watching the bride. Behind (right) is a post-chaise and horse; a postilion stands by, watching the ceremony. In the background (left) is a shed where a horse is being shoed. It is placarded: 'Tim Tag Blacksmith and Rector'."--British Museum online catalogue
