Bath races [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 20 November 1810]eng"Cripples and invalids rush down a hill below houses apparently representing The Crescent, and inscribed 'Cripples Corner'. The road traverses a rough grass slope to the river, beyond which are the houses of Bath (right). In the foreground an aged cripple has fallen headlong, losing hat, wig, and one crutch. Two old men, one in regimentals, hobble frantically on crutches, followed by a fat 'cit' also using crutches. In the middle distance, and lower down, three gouty old men are being trundled wheelbarrow-fashion in bath-chairs. Young women cheer on the competitors, one flourishing a riding-switch. In the background (left) at the top of the hill are other cripples."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Reissue; imprint has been completely burnished from plate.Publication information inferred from earlier state with the imprint "Pubd.
