Abstract: "A similar scene to BM Satires 14721, with awkward, exhibitionist, and dandified riders in place of carriages; one pedestrian, a lady, is in the foreground (right). Legs are thrust forward, toes turned out, down, or up. A man gallops holding one rein and an eye-glass with studied negligence, his left hand in his trouser pocket. Beside him is a lady, turning in her saddle to look through an eye-glass; a long green veil streams from her bell-shaped top-hat. A horse falls on its head, the falling man is taking snuff. Two dogs fight in the foreground. There are heavy clouds."--British Museum online catalogue
