"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

In the center two black eunuchs stand on either side of a door which stands open to reveal the Circassian with a raised veil, eager to receive her visitors.

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

"A scene in Hyde Park. Two dandies (see No. 13029) approach a woman in grotesquely fashionable dress, one from the left, the other from the right; she walks in back view through an opening in the rails, in the direction of a sign-post pointing 'To the Artillery Ground', but looks alluringly over her shoulder at the man on the left who leans eagerly towards her. The other stares through a glass."--British Museum online catalogue
