- Abstract
-
"An elderly couple in a gig which backs on to the pavement of a country town, against the bow-window of a 'China Warehouse'. Under the wheels are large earthenware vessels which stood outside the shop. A furious couple come out of the shop-door, above which is a board: 'Bob. Brittle china Glass and Earthenware Shop. A savage dog leaps barking at the terrified horse, the fat woman in the gig screams, the man shouts at the horse. A detached house has a sign: 'Probe Surgeon'. Next it is a church. A coach and pair with a postilion gallops up from the left."--British Museum online catalogue
