Very unpleasant weather

Britische Grafik 1820–1830, 1820

This is a print of a scene where cats, dogs, and pitchforks are falling from the sky like rain. On the street below, people dressed in colorful clothing attempt to shelter under umbrellas. Some of the people lay on the ground, impaled by pitchforks. Two people sit in a golden carriage, looking out at the chaos. The faces of the people in the print are exaggerated and cartoonish. The background includes several large red buildings in front of green hills and a blue sky.
