Abstract: "A roughly made jaunting-car on the sands of Dublin Bay proceeds towards the Pigeon House (right) at the end of the jetty (the South Bull). A young and an old woman sit back to back with an elderly man and a young one. The young people turn their heads to kiss, unobserved by their elders : the woman absorbed in snuff-taking, the man looking through a telescope. The head and shoulders of the driver, in back view, form the apex of the design; his hair projects through his battered hat."--British Museum online catalogue
