Jonas Hanway (1712 – September 5, 1786), English traveller and philanthropist, was born at Portsmouth. He was the first Londoner, it is said, to carry an umbrella, and he lived to triumph over all the hackney coachmen who tried to hoot and hustle him down. This contemporary caricature attempts to show some of the reactions he provoked.
