Abstract: "Grinning yokels, burlesqued, wheel (right to left) three wheelbarrows; one (right) contains a very fat parson with a gouty leg and grog-blossom nose, who lies on his back, registering impotent rage. Next is a very thin apothecary, holding his gold-headed cane; between his legs is a pestle and mortar containing medicine-bottles, one labelled 'To be well shaken'. On the left is an angry lawyer, holding a bag from which a paper projects. Villagers stand round watching the procession, cheering delightedly. Behind, from among trees, appear a hay-stack, an antique farm or cottage, and a church tower with a large Union flag at its flag-staff."--British Museum online catalogue
