- Abstract
-
"A scene on a circular drive surrounding a grass plot. A fat man sits in a child's four-wheeled chaise, drawn hilariously by a man and woman. A boy stands behind. Another man rides a rocking-horse, tilting it violently; a little boy stands in front. The host (right) stands watching with gloomy apprehension, while the hostess stands in the distance in front of the house, shouting without restraint. The house (right) is a two-storied rustic building with a quasi-Chinese roof and pseudo-Gothic windows. In the grounds, among trees, is a Chinese pagoda, typical of the cit's country box, cf. British Museum Satires no. 8208."--British Museum online catalogue.
