- "A man in ragged but quasi-fashionable dress rides (right to left) an ass through a river which flows past a steep mountain. The animal jibs, with ears set back; the rider raises a whip in each hand. He wears, and uses, three pairs of spurs, and attached to his shoulders and to the ass is a monstrous pile of bladders inscribed respectively 'Repartee', 'Nonsensical Verses', 'Catastrophe', 'Sentiment', 'Blasphemies', 'Puns', 'Duels', 'Double Entendres', 'Metaphors', 'Ghosts', 'Melting Speeches', 'Squibs', 'Dialogue', 'Daggers Poisons'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print engraved after this drawing and A rough pencil sketch of the same design but lacking much of the detail on the verso
