About this work
This hand-coloured etching shows a lively country fair with a large wooden swing ride whose seats carry tumbling figures. A booth labelled Cordials, a puppet theatre, a dog and a crowd of onlookers fill the scene. Thomas Rowlandson made this print, dated October 5, 1810, as the second part of the Sports of a Country Fair series.
