May-Day in London

A hand-colored engraving shows a crowded London street on May Day, with revelers in festive dress gathering around a man in a red coat and tricorn hat. A woman in a yellow skirt, a figure in a patchwork jester costume, and small dogs fill the foreground, while people lean from upper windows of brick buildings.
