About this work
A hand-colored engraving titled May Day shows a procession of costumed figures around a tall, leafy pole topped with a crown of pink and blue flowers. A woman in a blue dress and flowered hat holds a parasol, while a man in a white costume marked with the word MAY dances beside her. The print is drawn and engraved by Thomas Lord Busby and was published in 1820.
