Pot fair Cambridge, the college gate, Thomas Rowlandson

"Pot fair Cambridge": pots are laid out on tables for sale. A fat divine stumbles backward as dogs fight in the foreground. A seller at right is alarmed as he threatens to fall onto her table. "The college gate": Three men ride off in different directions after coming through a gate with square brick pillars surmounted by stone vases. Behind the left rider walks a fat divine wearing an academic cap. Through the gateway we are shown a short fat man in a clerical wig standing on a mounting block as a groom approaches with his horse.
