- Abstract
-
"Two men run furiously on velocipedes on a country road. A fat drink-blotched fellow, like a John Bull, is slightly in front, he wears old-fashioned dress; his paunch rests on the bar of the machine. The other is a dandy, with grotesquely high collar and neck-cloth, his coat-tails flying; he wears odd-shaped breeches, full in the seat, and spurred top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue
