"An open carriage or landau, crowded with ladies, is drawn (left to right) by six men; a servant seated on the shoulders of the foremost acts as postilion. In front walks a man holding a quaigh or covered cup by one of its small legs; against his shoulder he holds a tartan flag. A man stands at the back of the carriage in the place of a footman, pointing with his left forefinger and saying, "Whip hard, Geordie". The driver, who holds reins attached to the noses of the wheelers, answers, "Dam it ['Get on' Kay] I'll not spare them Willie"; he flicks his whip over the heads of his team. The carriage is on a causeway of earth with a flat surface and rectangular side in which there is a culvert (left). Behind the carriage (left) is a board or a post: a hand points to 'Bs Bridge'."--British Museum online catalogue
