Going to ride St. George. (BM 1868,0808.5753)

The Prince of Wales lies on the ground, having been thrown from the phaeton in which he was driving Mrs. Fitzherbert. She falls on top of him, head first, her legs waving in the air, her very stout contour much defined. The light carriage, which is poised on high springs, is falling over. The pair of horses plunge violently, their reins are broken. On the right is the royal carriage followed by Life Guards. The King and Queen (who appears pleased) look in astonishment at the accident. Beneath the title is etched 'A Pantomimic Scene lately Performed at Kensington before their M-----s' 9 July 1788
