Abstract: "A man in neat riding-dress falls head first from a horse which is falling on its head, while a dog springs at it savagely. Another rider (right), whose horse is trotting, slips from the saddle clasping the animal's head. Both are bad riders, and probably 'cits', cf. (e.g.) British Museum Satires no. 7233. A mile-stone (right) is inscribed 'To Rumpford'. Cf. British Museum Satires no. 9465."--British Museum online catalogue.
