Two ladies driving in a gig, advancing diagonally towards the spectator from left to right, on the road from Hyde Park Corner to Knightsbridge. The gig, which has a crest on its panel, is drawn by a pair of ponies with long tails and manes. The lady driving is standing up, she wears the fashionable driving dress of the period, coat and waistcoat of masculine cut, full skirt without a hoop, large feathered hat; a bunch of seals hangs from her waistcoat. Her companion (right) sits demurely with folded arms; her dress is more feminine. The background shows the front of St. George's Hospital (left).

A single-horse carriage is stopped in front of a rustic inn or roadhouse, with two caricatured Frenchmen (one a postillion wearing enormous boots) engaged in changing out the horse. An occupant of the carriage hands money out the window to a peasant woman holding an infant and accompanied by a young boy; two other shabbily dressed figures are nearby next to a tree, one of them playing a makeshift drum. In the doorway of the building stands a young woman, and to the left a man under an archway stands with arms crossed; both watch the scene unfold. In the background a postillion rides away on horseback, whip extended into the air

A stage coach is drawn by two starved horses across rough terrain. An anxious looking Duke of Portland, the nominal head of the government, is being taught how to drive by Charles Fox who is in control of the reins. Their relationship is undescored by the crests on the side panels of the coach with the fox sitting on ducal coronet. Lord North stands in the basket behind, in place of a footman, watching with anger the proceedings on the box. The front left wheel is broken after going over the "Loan" rock; a larger "Reform Bill" boulder is ahead of the horses and The text below image is a paraphrase of the Duke of Chandos's speech criticizing North's coalition with Fox: "Such was the love of Office of the noble Lord, that finding he would not be permitted to mount the Box, | He had been content to get up behind, vide the Duke of C------. . . s's Speech Morning Chronicle 15th April". This was a speech by Chandos on the Irish Judicature Bill, 14 April, violently attacking the Coalition: "he particularly arraigned the conduct of Lord North, and said that not being able to get again upon the state coach-box, he had been content to get up behind."
