Moses [graphic]Bretherton, James, approximately 1730-1806, printmakerpublish'd 23d Jany. 1783.eng"A stout, complacent-looking man rides a small horse in profile to the left. He has a very bad seat and is pulling hard on the curb; the animal puts down its head. A servant on a rough-looking pony canters behind him, carrying a basket of hay and a triangular box or package (perhaps his master's hat-box) under his left arm. The scene is a country road, with a signpost (left) pointing 'To Hackney, To Isling[ton'], and (down a turning on the right of the riders) to 'Shoredi[tch]'. The post stresses the idea conveyed in the drawing, that this is a citizen riding to or from his country-box in the suburbs."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark.Companion print to: Symptoms of rearing.
