The comforts of a Rumford stove; vide Dr G-rn-ts lectures, James Gillray, 1800

Count rumford stands in profile to the right, smiling; he pulls aside his coat-tails to warm his back at the fire. The fire-place has a small rectangular aperture, set low, the grate triangular in shape and resembling a modern fire-place. His shadow falls vertically across the fire (which emits much black smoke) and resembles a cloud of smoke. On the small high chimney-piece are a coffee-pot with a wide base and long handle, and a round cooking-pot. He grins with satisfaction, his profile is drink-blotched, and he wears (inconspicuously) a parti-coloured ribbon. His boots are of the fashionable hessian pattern. A carpet and bare panelled walls complete the design. 12 june 1800 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1800. Dimensions: Height: 255 mm; Width: 202 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Dr Thomas Garnett.
