- Abstract
-
"The Prince of Wales and McMahon ride side by side (r. to left.) past Carlton House, followed by a groom. The Prince, stout and dignified, sits very upright on a high-stepping horse. McMahon s much smaller mount canters; he rides (on the Prince's l.) with leg thrust forward like Bunbury's examples of mounted vulgarians, see BMSats 7233, 7235, 7242. Behind them runs a ragged little boy in top-hat and tattered tail-coat, apparently assuming the part of a running footman. A detailed representation of part of the screen and façade of Carlton House forms the background; half the gate appears on the extreme left.; beside it is a sentry-bos with a sentry at attention. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
