Abstract:
"A procession of characters riding fantastic velocipedes (see British Museum Satires No. 13399), in profile to the right, each an isolated figure, arranged in two rows divided by a horizontal line. Each machine is an appropriate object mounted on two wheels. [1] 'The Aldermans Hobby'. Fat, drink-blotched, and with gouty legs, he rides a turtle. [2] 'The Sailors Hobby'. He vigorously rides an anchor, despite a wooden leg. He has a pugnacious expression, and a long pigtail. [3] 'The Jews Hobby'. He has a beard and rides a bag of 'Old Clothes'. [4] 'The Doctors Hobby'. A very thin apothecary, a medicine-bottle in his pocket, rides a 'Mortar', using the pestle as a steering-rod. [5] 'The Ireishmans Hobby'. A peasant, with one shoe and stocking, a straw rope twisted round the other leg, rides a bull, holding it by the horns. Cf. (e.g.) British Museum Satires No. 5605, by Gillray. [6] 'John Bulls Hobby'. A jovial and paunchy fellow rides a huge round of beef, inscribed 'Rump of Beef 4p. lb.', the dish being on rollers. He holds up a tankard of 'Porter' and knife in his right hand, sticking a fork into the meat. [7] 'The Welchmans Hobby'. He rides a goat whose legs are planted on two disks inscribed 'Cheese'; he has a goat-like profile and in his hat is a leek. [8] 'The Real Dandy Hobby'. A dandy strides along on a correctly drawn machine. He wears breeches, full in the seat, with spurred top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue
