"A view of a fair with the line of booths on the left and nearer the spectator. An embryo 'Great Wheel' is in action on the right, with four cars (or boxes with half doors) slung from cross-beams which pivet on a post, the motion being given by a crank at the hub, worked by a man standing on a little platform. Each car contains one elderly occupant, except one which has broken: a young girl falls through the air, a youth lies on his back below her. Spectators register alarm or amusement. An oyster-woman looks up from her stall (left). A well-dressed thief picks the pocket of a man absorbed in the accident, passing the plunder to a confederate leaning from the window of an inn on the extreme left. This has the sign of the crown, inscribed 'T. Slano'. In a first-floor window a couple are embracing. Adjacent booths belong to 'Polito': Harlequin, Punch, and other figures are performing, watched by a few spectators. In the foreground (right) a fat women sells sticks to men and boys who throw at objects (? gingerbread) poised on spikes. In the background is a rustic horse-race."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"The booths are in the background (right) across a large field in which are the foreground figures. The horse has broken loose from a two-wheeled cart, heavily overladen with visitors to the fair, who have been thrown headlong to the ground, where eight men and women lie in a heap, flourishing arms and legs, either despairingly or pugnaciously; one man has remained in the front of the cart and laughs at their plight. Another man holds the broken rope harness of the kicking horse. Two couples (left) run joyfully towards the disaster, an unrehearsed sport of the fair: two country people in front, an over-dressed and elderly couple behind. In front (right) are the bones of a horse. In the background is a line of tents and booths before which stand spectators. On the stages of adjacent booths persons are posturing, and an acrobat swings on a slack-rope. The names over the booths are 'Polito', 'Sanders', 'Guny', 'Ast . . [? Astley]'. Farther off (left) a horse- or ass-race is in progress, indicated by tiny figures."--British Museum online catalogue.
