John Gilpin gallops through a village, 1878, (c1918). Creator: Randolph Caldecott

John Gilpin gallops through a village, 1878, (c1918). John Gilpin, with wine bottles attached to his belt, clings on as his horse tears down the road chased by dogs and scattering geese. The turnpike-man, thinking its a race, has opened the gate. John Gilpin was the subject of a comic ballad of 1782 by William Cowper entitled " The Diverting History of John Gilpin". The ballad, based on real-life character, describes how, on a journey to Edmonton (north in London), Gilpin, a draper, became separated from his wife and children after losing control of his horse, and ended up in the town of Ware, ten miles away from his intended destination. From " The Diverting History of John Gilpin", by William Cowper. [Frederick Warne and Co. London & New York, c1918]
