- Abstract:
- "Two sailors ride (right to left) a velocipede (see No. 13399) with two saddles on the elongated bar. At the back is a seat for two passengers in which are two gaily dressed women. The first sailor says over his shoulder: "D--n it Jack this is rare sailing without a wind!" The front wheel collides with a dandy (left), who has dropped his steering-bar (which has dropped to the ground) and is about to fall off. Jack answers: "A very pretty invention Tom! D--n it we shall run down the Dandy!" The dandy (cf. No. 13029) shouts: "Curse you you tarpaulins Wy don't you mind how you steer." One of the women holds a bottle and glass; she looks back saying: "Vy Poll this beats the Dilly [diligence]!! Vy Poll it' s capsized!!" Poll sits back with folded arms, one leg resting on the second sailor's shoulder. She answers: "And we have capsized a Dandy!!" In the background (right) a mail-coach lies on its side; men, women, and luggage from the outside are on the ground; an inside passenger tries to climb from the window."--British Museum online catalogue
