Abstract

"A countrywoman (right), wearing a cloak apron, and pattens and holding out a volume of 'Wesleys Hymns', addresses a jockey standing before the door of 'The Ram Inn' (left): "Pray Young Man--- are there any Meetings in this Town?" He answers: "Yes Ma'am two a Year Spring and October." Three persons standing on the doorstep watch with amused interest: a typical betting man in top-boots arm-in-arm with a young woman, and a stout rubicund man. Behind is the race-course; three horses (right) are almost neck and neck. Spectators on horse-back watch from 'Devils Ditch', and on the horizon (right) is the winning-post with a flag."--British Museum online catalogue
