Engraving (coloured impression). A pretty girl (left) and a handsome young officer in regimentals (right) stand facing each other; he holds her hand, and places a ring on her finger. The grotesque elderly man, more parson than blacksmith, stands between them, bawling from a book and watching the bride. Behind (right) is a post-chaise and horse; a postilion stands by, watching the ceremony. In the background (left) is a shed where a horse is being shoed. It is placarded: 'Tim Tag Blacksmith and Rector'. Grego, 'Rowlandson', ii. 2015. Reproduced, F. L. Carter, ‘Gretna Green and the Arts’, 'Print Collector’s Quarterly', xix. 240.
