- Abstract
-
"An ox pins a fat 'cit' to a door-step (right), its horns enclosing the man's neck. Men with bludgeons chase the ox, filling the broad street. Two dogs leap savagely at it, one against the body of an old woman who falls violently to the ground. Other passers-by flee across the street. They include a fat woman with a (falling) basket on her head, a Jew with a sack on his back, and a man on crutches. The ox is beside the curved shop-window of a 'Chemist'; across the road is a 'China Warehouse', A coach with outside passengers turns down a side street (left). In the middle of the street is an obelisk supporting three lamps."--British Museum online catalogue
