- Abstract:
- "A clumsy and ramshackle two-wheeled chaise numbered '63', with a folding hood (raised) and a broken wheel, is driven (left to right) along the sea-shore. The driver sits on the hind-quarters of the horse, flourishing his whip; the reins are of rope. A stout woman fills the interior. In the distance (right) a similar chaise is driven right to left, the driver seated on the front of the vehicle. In the distance (left) is a jetty with a lighthouse; beside it is a ship, probably the English packet. Behind are low mountains."--British Museum online catalogue
