"A street scene: a stout man at left turns to look through an eye-glass at a woman, who wears a straw bonnet and her hands in a large muff. Two men walk hurriedly to the left and at right a military officer puts his arm around a courtesan."

September 29, 1811

"A boxing match takes place here on a 25 foot stage, before a crowd estimated at 15,000. The English champion Thomas Cribb strikes Tom Molineux who falls backwards. This second contest between the fighters took place at Thisselton Gap, Rutland on September 28, 1811. Molineaux was an African-American, said to have been enslaved in Virginia. He had crossed the Atlantic in 1809 and had fought Cribb previously at Sheninghton Hollow, Oxfordshire on December 3, 1810, going down to defeat in 35 rounds in a disputed decision. At this rematch, Cribb's second was John Gully and his bottle-holder Joe Ward while Molineaux's second was Bill Richmond (also American-American by birth and once enslaved), and his bottleman Bill Gibbons. In a match that lasted 19 minutes, Cribb broke his opponent's jaw in the 9th round, and knocked him out in the 11th. Milling was a common slang term at this period for bare-knuckle boxing (see 59.533.1445 and 69.635.2 for other prints of the subject)."

The Manager's Last Kick, or a New Way to Pay Old Debts

Thomas Rowlandson British Publisher Thomas Tegg British September 29, 1811

"A bailiff who has attempted to deliver a writ to the manager of a theater falls through a trap at the center of the stage. He holds out his arms and drops a paper inscribed "A Red Tail," and says, "Zounds what a cursed Infernal Trick." At left, the manager bows towards him and says, "Good Morning Mr Catchpole you'l [sic] find more of your tribe when you get to the bottom." The actors on stage and the musicians along the bottom look at the scene and laugh."
