"Three men stand in the doorway of the coach-house of a posting inn, through which is seen the courtyard with a post-chaise. The elderly French postilion (left) drinks from a large tankard, holding bones and meat in his left hand. He is caricatured; he wears a cocked hat with tricolour cockade, laced waistcoat, and large boots. His hair is in a long queue. The young English postilion, wearing neat riding-dress with well-fitting boots, and fashionable double-breasted waistcoat, points at him, turning with a smile to a stable-hand (right) who leans grinning against the door-post. Both postilions have short whips with thick plaited lashes, but the lash of the Frenchman is much the longer. On the wall is a bill headed 'Dover \ Post Coach'."--British Museum online catalogue

"An open carriage or landau, crowded with ladies, is drawn (left to right) by six men; a servant seated on the shoulders of the foremost acts as postilion. In front walks a man holding a quaigh or covered cup by one of its small legs; against his shoulder he holds a tartan flag. A man stands at the back of the carriage in the place of a footman, pointing with his left forefinger and saying, "Whip hard, Geordie". The driver, who holds reins attached to the noses of the wheelers, answers, "Dam it ['Get on' Kay] I'll not spare them Willie"; he flicks his whip over the heads of his team. The carriage is on a causeway of earth with a flat surface and rectangular side in which there is a culvert (left). Behind the carriage (left) is a board or a post: a hand points to 'Bs Bridge'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"An elderly lawyer (left) reads a will to the legatees, who are grouped round a table: a young couple looking slyly at each other, a fat and startled butcher, a drunken dishevelled butler, an elderly doctor smelling his cane, a would-be fashionable in a wrinkled Jean-de-Bry coat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9425) and tasselled Hessians. The lawyer reads: "The Genuine Will of Timothy Whimsey Esqr of Whimsey Hall--I give and bequeath to my young Wife the bulk of my Fortune for the trouble she has had with me, and to my secretary Tom Cunningham I bequeath the said Wife . . . as by amourous glances, I have at different times noticed, I think there will be no objection on either side--To my old Friend Briskett the Butcher, I leave him a small portion of common honesty and advise him to cut his steaks thicker in future--To Timothy my Butler, I leave sixty pounds per Annum for his extreme Sobriety!!!--to Doctor Bolus I leave all the pill boxes--phials--potions--lotions &c &c &c accumulated at different periods, and deposited in my corner cupboard--and lastly I leave my Nephew Tim Dash--a small portion of advice viz--not to act and dress so like a puppy in future!!!" The butler says: "Very sensible in respect to the Butler", the nephew: "What a Quiz I'll report him at Brooks's"."--British Museum online catalogue
