Image title
A view of frost fair, on the Thames, February 1814. An engraving. The view is looking upstream towards Blackfriars Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral. The scene shows groups of people and a number of tents, two of which are labelled "Wellington" and "Moscow". There are boats in the ice on the right and a printing press is selling souvenirs. There are vendors of cakes or fruit, swings, and a donkey race is taking place on the top right. In the background there is a tent flagged "Good Gin", by which a man has fallen halfway through the ice.
