BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. SUNG BY MR. MATTHEWS, WITH UNBOUNDED APPLAUSE. London: Laurie & Whittle, 1811. Lovely hand-colored etching of a scene from the annual fair with Mr. Punch, clowns, harlequins, trained animals, and a host of fairgoers in a lively state, above a lengthy series of verses regarding the Fair and what could be seen there: “lollipops, shilling hops / Cups and balls, wooden walls.” 11¾ × 9 ½". One corner crudely restored, else good. Laid down.
