"A hand-coloured print of a steep hill in Greenwich Park on which people are running up and down. Large and thin couples chase one another, kiss and cavort, sometimes with disastrous outcomes, including a couple of women who have collided, their bottoms exposed. At the top of the hill stands a tree under which two men are seated. At the bottom left, a man hides behind a tree, ready to strike an un-suspecting woman with a stick."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue.

"A fat country-woman, threatened by a fierce dog, has fallen face downwards in front of a pair of horses, causing them to stop suddenly, and paw the ground. The terrified coachman loses his hat and wig, the footman is flung across the roof of the low carriage towards the box. An elderly lady looks out of the carriage window to call: "John!" He answers: "Coming Ma'm." All are broadly burlesqued. On the door is a coat of arms with an earl's coronet."--British Museum online catalogue.
