The grinning match, a humourous scene at a country fair, engraving 1775, mezzotint , A man stands on a chair beneath a large, spreading tree on which a tri-corn hat hangs from a limb, his grinning face framed by a horse-collar, a woman and a man look on in the foreground, the man applauds, while a crowd of countrymen on the left, in the rear, encourage him with laughter and applause, with building on the right, in the background.
