Notes
Medium: Etchings, Hand coloring
Caricature: In the rear are lasses raking the hay together, and lads are tossing the loads on to the well-filled wains. In the front of the picture is a group of boisterous haymakers of both sexes, who, throwing aside their rakes and forks, are tumbling the hay about by armfuls, rolling over one another in the grass, and sprawling about in picturesque confusion.
Signed in plate, lower right: "Rowlandson del.".
