Image title
Frost fair, 3rd February, 1814. Description based on Dorothy George: View of the Thames during a Frost Fair, St Pauls in the distance. Tents include 'The Free and Easy on the Ice' and 'Wellington for Ever Good Ale'. The barber has a tent placarded 'Shave Well'. Two badged watermen are conspicuous, one holding a bottle of 'Old Tom' [gin]. Below the title are doggerel verses which end: 'Now to conclude my Icy song I'm glad to see the frost is gone, And ships and barges all afloat And watermen rowing of their boats Black diamond barges to appear That coals they may not be so dear So toss a bumper off with cheer And bid adieu to Frosty Fair'.
