- Abstract
-
"Two sailors ride (left to right) bare-back on two galloping horses, one half a length behind. The horses are rough and clumsy, with blinkers and horse-collars. One sailor (left), whose hat flies off, shouts to the other: "Hollo' you Swab, lay too a bit, can't you: I've lost part of my upper rightigging, - and the Vessel's firing signal guns of distress. - have you lost your hearing." The other says: "If the lubber had not stood to it: they were both Ponies, I should have taken mine for a Cart Horse, - by the bumping in the Stern"."--British Museum online catalogue
