A view of the back window of a carriage on a country, tree-lined lane, shows a woman unswaddling her screaming child with a look of concern. An obese man to her right plugs his ears with his fingers, red-faced and angry. A thinner man to her left holds his nose. Another man in a bonnet leans out the window of the carriage with a surprised look on his face. In the front is a glimpse of the whip and the arm of the coach driver as he drives the coach quickly down the lane, hurling clouds of dust behind them. A dog looks down from the roof of the coach
