Kicking up a breeze, or, Barrow women basting a beadle [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 10 February 1814]eng"A confused scene. A beadle, cane in hand, grasps the side of an overturned barrow, from which a basket, scales, and black puddings (coloured green) have fallen. A powerful young woman grasps his nose, and prepares to use her fist; an older woman clutches his back and belabours him with a basket. Both are shrieking termagants with bare breasts. A dog between the beadle's legs barks. The spectators, all close to the fray, are amused: a butcher, shouldering a tray of meat, stands outside his stall (left), which is immediately behind the combatants; from it dangle large joints and a carcase. A woman passes, pushing a barrow (left). A man's grinning face watches from the right. Behind (right) is a shop placarded 'Bob Giblet Poulterer', its ancient front hidden by bunches of hares and turkeys."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Later state; former plate number "310" has been replaced with a new number, and beginning of imprint statement has been burnished from plate.Date of publication based on complete imprint on earlier state: Pub.
