James Gillray (British, 1756-1815) "A Cockney & His Wife Going To Wycombe" Hand Colored Etching

Gillrary etching shows a man in a top hat driving his plump wife in a two-seat open carriage pulled by an emaciated horse. A mongrel dog with a bone in its mouth walks ahead of them. A stone mile marker behind is lettered: "Miles from London" (the place where the number should appear broken off), and a mortar and pestle decorates the side of the carriage, identifying the man as a druggist or apothecary.
