- Abstract:
- "All hunt on velocipedes; they advance (left to right) in two streams on each side of a grass plot, while in the background the huntsmen are just behind the dogs, chasing (right to left) the stag. A dandy, his machine in the air, falls head first on a woman who also obstructs a lean tailor, with shears and card of patterns in his pocket. A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock. On the extreme left a dustman in fan-tailed hat rides with a woman seated behind him and ringing his bell. The figures in the second column are on a small scale but well characterized. Accidents and collisions occur. Two dandies (right) in the middle distance (right) are turning to follow the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue
