SYMPATHY, OR A FAMILY ON A JOURNEY
LAYING THE DUST (1785)
Two ladies have descended from their coach, and stand in the road,
urinating; one (left) is elderly and ugly, the other young and pretty.
The footman stands in back view, also ‘laying the dust’, as are the
pair of horses (right) and a dog. The coachman on his box, turning
his back to the party in the road, imitates their example. A signpost
(left) points ‘To Broadwater’. (@ www.britishmuseum.org)
