"A parson in front of a house-door, rides facing the tail, which he holds. His wig is back to front and his hat flies off. A barking dog leaps at the horse. Four men are grouped by and on the steps: a fat man holds out a lantern and a pipe, another waves a punch-bowl. All are amused. A fifth man, apparently a parson, turns his back. The house is old-fashioned with mullioned window and arched doorway."--British Museum online catalogue

"An ox pins a fat 'cit' to a door-step (right), its horns enclosing the man's neck. Men with bludgeons chase the ox, filling the broad street. Two dogs leap savagely at it, one against the body of an old woman who falls violently to the ground. Other passers-by flee across the street. They include a fat woman with a (falling) basket on her head, a Jew with a sack on his back, and a man on crutches. The ox is beside the curved shop-window of a 'Chemist'; across the road is a 'China Warehouse', A coach with outside passengers turns down a side street (left). In the middle of the street is an obelisk supporting three lamps."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat 'cit' on an ill-bred horse leans back in the saddle with legs thrust forward; the angle of his seat is shown by a dotted half-circle above his head on which 90 degrees are marked, above his point of contact with the horse. An absurd dog barks at the horse's heels. In the background two riders are being flung from their horses. Behind them is St. Paul's and adjacent houses. On the right is a windmill. Illustration to an account of a grotesque City subscription hunt, whose rule is never to go out of sight of St. Paul's."--British Museum catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull (right), an obese 'cit', is addressed by a group of citizens, less obese, but much caricatured. Their spokesman says: "You must know, Mr Bull, we are a Society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street, and were robb'd of our Cash and accounts, notwithstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too! - is not it very hard - however we have left Downing Street intirely!" John, his hands under his coat-tails, answers: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion if some more Odd Fellows in Downing Street were to quit theire situations it would be very much to my advantage!" They stand in 'Bird Cage Walk', the name being on a piece of paper on the ground. Behind are railings in front of trees behind which are the towers of Westminster Abbey. On the right 'Downing Street' is indicated, abutting on the 'Treasury', on the extreme right, with a sentry before the building."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
