Very Slippy Weather

Britische Grafik 1805–1819, pubblicato nel 1808

The artwork is a detailed cartoon-style illustration with a vertical orientation. In the foreground, a man in a green coat and yellow trousers has slipped on a cobblestone street, dropping a cane and scattering coins. He holds a thermometer in one hand. A small dog watches him. Behind him, several figures stand and look at a shop window filled with illustrated posters, each depicting various scenes. The shop's signage reads "HUMPHREY," and the window features a decorative arch. The crowd is dressed in period clothing, including hats and coats. The artwork is framed with a border containing the title "VERY SLIPPY WEATHER."
