The fair on the Thames, February 4, 1814. A contemporary description: 'swings, bookstalls, dancing in a barge, suttling [drinking] booths, playing at skittles, and almost every appendage of a fair on land was now transferred to the Thames... the view of St Paul's and the city with its white foreground had a very singular effect'.
