Summer amusement (BM 1927,1126.1.23.88)

No.9: The interior of a tea-garden. People are playing bat, trap, and ball; a waiter runs (left to right) holding a round tray with tea-things and a kettle. Three smartly-dressed people stand in conversation on the extreme right. In the background is the wall, almost concealed by trees, a small summer-house or gazebo to which leads a flight of steps, and a row of alcoves for tea-drinking, in one of which a man and woman are seated. c.1784
