"A coach without passengers or driver proceeds (right to left) with the wheels sunk in sand (resembling water). Beside it trudge the driver (left), the guard with his blunderbuss, and two men passengers. On a bank above the road, two ladies and two men run in the same direction. On the roof of the coach are band-boxes and a turtle; on the door a swan with two necks (sign of the famous coaching-inn in Lad Lane)."--British Museum online catalogue

"Six groups of three persons (wife, husband, and lover) arranged in two rows, their words (not transcribed) etched above their heads. [1] A pretty young woman walking with an ugly and elderly husband makes an assignation with a military officer. [2] A shoemaker with a strap interrupts a French barber making love to his wife. [3] A young woman points to her fat old husband asleep in a chair, saying to a barrister, "Take care or you'll wake him". He says: "Remember my dear Madam how well I pleaded your last cause". [4] A fashionably dressed doctor holds the pulse of a young woman who sits beside him on a sofa. The husband watches with suspicion. [5] A handsome young clergyman sits on a sofa with a young woman, their arms round each other's shoulders, eyes closed, while a fat elderly parson gapes at them with horror, saying, "Here's a pretty scandal to the Cloth!!" [6] Two fat country people embrace under the eyes of the husband who says: "Come come this is carrying the joke a little too far."--British Museum online catalogue
