"Three men stand in the doorway of the coach-house of a posting inn, through which is seen the courtyard with a post-chaise. The elderly French postilion (left) drinks from a large tankard, holding bones and meat in his left hand. He is caricatured; he wears a cocked hat with tricolour cockade, laced waistcoat, and large boots. His hair is in a long queue. The young English postilion, wearing neat riding-dress with well-fitting boots, and fashionable double-breasted waistcoat, points at him, turning with a smile to a stable-hand (right) who leans grinning against the door-post. Both postilions have short whips with thick plaited lashes, but the lash of the Frenchman is much the longer. On the wall is a bill headed 'Dover \ Post Coach'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Six French émigrés are grouped at the roadside beside a signpost (right) pointing (left) to 'London' and (right) to 'Dover'.
