- Abstract:
- A lady, wearing over her dress a military coat with epaulets, stands plying her whip as she drives the two small white ponies who pull her carriage past the Cox Heath signpost. Her clothes mirror those of the fat and elderly militia officer who sleeps in the seat at her side, his hands clasped around his sword. A large dog sits in front of her. Observing the spectacle from a side road are three country travellers in a covered wagon which bears a sign "The Maidstone Common Stage Waggon".

A stout middle-aged Englishman wearing a heavy coat and three-cornered hat and carrying a stick, is walking to left in a Parisian street with a small boy in attendance. Passers-by are amused by his lack of elegance: on the left, a hairdresser wearing his hair in a large queue, with scissors at his waist and an apron, carries a parasol and raises his hand in surprise; a fat monk grins; an elegant man driving a cabriolet and his footman dressed in furs smile; a worker wearing loose trousers and wooden shoes folds his arms and stares; two dogs follow the Englishman."--British Museum online catalogue
