- Abstract:
- "An elderly country parson, in profile to the right, on a horse which rears almost vertically, he clasps the animal round the neck, and is seated on his hind-quarters, having lost his stirrups and slipped from the saddle. His whip flies through the air behind him, his coat-tails fly out, and the sheets of his sermon inscribed 'IOB' protrude from his pocket. A small dog (left) rushing towards the animal's hind-legs and barking furiously appears to have caused the 'symptoms of rearing'. The parish clerk, with two large volumes under his arm, beside the horse, looks over his right shoulder and stoops or runs to escape being trampled on. Trees and a church steeple are indicated in the background (right). A similar subject to British Museum Satires Nos. 5914-17, also by Bunbury."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A stout, complacent-looking man rides a small horse in profile to the left. He has a very bad seat and is pulling hard on the curb; the animal puts down its head. A servant on a rough-looking pony canters behind him, carrying a basket of hay and a triangular box or package (perhaps his master's hat-box) under his left arm. The scene is a country road, with a signpost (left) pointing 'To Hackney, To Isling[ton'], and (down a turning on the right of the riders) to 'Shoredi[tch]'. The post stresses the idea conveyed in the drawing, that this is a citizen riding to or from his country-box in the suburbs."--British Museum online catalogue
