"A man, grossly fat, short, and almost spherical, tries to step from the pavement into a cab, against the passenger's seat of which leans a tasselled cane. The ragged driver, seated beside the empty hooded seat, leans towards the fat man, whipping up his horse and saying, 'If your Legs ant long enough to get into this here Wehicle I wont drive you at all--you little Stump'. The other shouts: 'Stop that fellow he has got my Stick'. The 'Stump' is followed from a shop by a man clasping a large live turtle; in the shop-window are the words 'Real & Mock Turtle'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The front of the velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) is in the normal shape, and is ridden by a dandy; the bar is elongated and dropped to give space for a seat on which a lady sits, wearing an enormous bonnet. At the back is a much lower seat, like a dickey, behind the back wheel. In this sits a groom, with his feet on a foot-rest, working the wheel by handles attached to the hubs. In the background (left) is a similar machine, carrying three."--British Museum online catalogue

"Prince Leopold (right), in uniform, puts his head through a glassless aperture in a window in the door of his 'Grecian Establish[ment]--Co[burg]', to look intently at a fat Turk who stands in profile to the right, elaborately dressed and holding a long pipe with smoking bowl.

Wellington drives a large new coach pulled by three horses with human heads. He is dressed in a a triple-caped greatcoat and broad brimmed hat and flicks the long whip with skill on the backs of the horses depicted with the heads of John Bull and on either side, stock characters of an Irishman and Scotsman wearing traditional hats. They ride on a road labelled "national debt' as the horses hoves sink in the mud labelled "sinking fund." Peel rides behind in the conductor's seat. One of the four curtains on the windows of the omnibus is pulled aside to reveal George IV about to kiss Lady Conyngham.
