Engraved advertisement for waterproof clothing sold by Ackermann, Suardy and Company, London. The top half of the broadside features a stipple engraved image by Maria Hadfield Cosway, engraved by John Samuel Agar. It depicts a cherub squeezing rain from a cloud; the rain falls toward a second cherub who is sheltering beneath a large piece of waterproof material, the water running safely down away from him and falling upon a dolphin below. The image, or a variant of it, was reviewed by Sir Richard Phillips in the Monthly Magazine, 1801, volume 12, part II, pages 42. - Subject Terms:
