Abstract:

"One of the landing stairs on the river. A gale is blowing, and the boats are dancing about. The watermen are pulling a skiff to the stairs; at the same moment a breeze is blowing off a parson's wig and hat, and carrying away his fair companion's parasol, bonnet, &c. The landing steps show a succession of diasters, an ascending flight of hats, caps, and wigs, of which the astonished wearers are suddenly denuded."--Grego, J. Rowlandson the caricaturist.
