"Three pedestrians are walking (right to left) into the teeth of a storm. In front is a very stout man with a globular figure, the lower part of his tightly buttoned coat blows backwards. He wears spurred top-boots, and his hands meet across his chest, holding a stick. He resembles caricatures of Captain Grose, see British Museum Satires Nos. 4683, 5511, 5787, 5802. The next man wears a cloak which streams behind him as does his wig; he has a laced coat and hat, with two large keys tied to his wrist. A lean man (right) puts his head down grimacing as he hastens along, his hair, queue, cravat, coat and breeches all blowing in the wind; his hands are clasped in front holding a stick which rests on his shoulder. Farther off, between the two foremost pedestrians, a man on horseback holds his nose, his bag-wig, cravat, and coat-tails blown by the wind. In front of him (left) a short man is crouching in the lee of a bush, his hat and wig have blown off, a paper flutters from his hand. The clouds extending diagonally from the upper right corner of the design indicate driving hail."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Eight scenes arranged in two rows. An elderly man riding Pegasus pursues Fame, who beckons to him; he despairs of overtaking her, even "if my Pegasus was as fleet as the wind". Two cronies concur in "hunting the bottle". An old military officer pursues a pretty young woman. Two bailiff's men with bludgeons pursue a debtor. A solitary man has been fruitlessly "hunting after money the whole day". A young and handsome fortune-hunter kneels to an elderly harridan. A hunter after company invites himself to crack a bottle with another man. A fat parson, eyes closed, at a table with punch-bowl, glasses, &c, the second chair being empty, says: "My worthy friend the Vicar and myself have just killed old care and I am very happy Doctor, to welcome you in at the death". Perhaps belongs to a set, see BMSat 8541, &c. c.1800"--British Museum online catalogue
