-
"A coach without passengers or driver proceeds (right to left) with the wheels sunk in sand (resembling water). Beside it trudge the driver (left), the guard with his blunderbuss, and two men passengers. On a bank above the road, two ladies and two men run in the same direction. On the roof of the coach are band-boxes and a turtle; on the door a swan with two necks (sign of the famous coaching-inn in Lad Lane)."--British Museum online catalogue
