"A man wearing a hat, long coat, and top-boots, stands directed to the left, head in profile, holding a long-lashed coach whip; over his left arm hangs a bulky multiple-collared coat, in his hand is a 'Way Bill'."--British Museum online catalogue
"He is Tilleman Hodgkinson Bobart who matriculated as a Commoner 1790 at University College, aged eighteen, but never graduated. He ran a four-horse coach between Oxford and London, had to give up the road owing to accidents, and in 1815 was made Esquire Bedel in Law. He died 1838."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
