Abstract

"The auctioneer is in his pulpit, employed in knocking down an assortment of vehicles to a small but sufficiently eccentric-looking audience. A gouty individual, propped on crutches, is making a bid for an antiquated kind of cabriolet, which the groom is trotting up for inspection; around are curricles travelling carriages, and a general assemblage of the machines on wheels representative of the past."--Grego, J. Rowlandson the caricaturist
