| Notes |
Three grimacing pedestrians struggle forwards in heavy winds. The group is headed by a grossly overweight man, squinting his eyes at the weather and wearing spurs on his boots. According to the British Museum he resembles caricatures of English antiquary Captain Francis Grose. Behind the group, a gentleman on horseback, tailcoat blowing out behind him, covers his nose as he pushes his horse on. A small man huddles behind a bush to the far left, loosing his hat, wig and papers in a gust of wind. The clouds extending diagonally from the top left corner of the image indicate driving hail. Henry William Bunbury (1750–1811) was an English caricaturist. He was the second son of Sir William Bunbury, 5th Baronet, of Mildenhall, Suffolk. He was educated at Westminster School and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and soon showed a talent for drawing, especially for humorous subjects. His more serious efforts were no great success, but his caricatures are as famous as those of his contemporaries Thomas Rowlandson and James Gillray. His designs were usually etched by Darly and Bretherton, and (from 1780s) Dickinson. John Raphael Smith (1751-1812) was a publisher and printmaker working in London. Ex. Col: Brigadier N. L.
