Plate 7 to 'Eccentric Excursions, or. Literary & Pictorial sketches of Countenance, Character and Country, in ..... England & South Wales'.
A design in two compartments. Above, a gaping countryman walks with his dog. A fashionably dressed man walking towards him inspects him through a quizzing-glass; a couple walking behind him arm-in-arm look at him with contemptuous amusement.
Below, a fashionably dressed man, holding a bludgeon, addresses a rustic couple seated on a bench beside a cottage; they gape at him in alarm. Two children stoop down to inspect his feet. A boy carrying his bundle on a stick passes on, amused. Cf. BMSat 7805. 13 August 1796
