June 1800 (?) · Hand-colored etching · Drawings and Prints

This procession of drenched spectators return from a royal review of the volunteers coprs of London held in Hyde Park on June 4, 1800. Unfortunately the event was spoiled by heavy rain and we see women in light summer dresses and slipper-like shoes trying to keep themselves from getting covered in mud.
