"A man, thin, elderly, and bald, leans back despairingly in an arm-chair by the fire, grimacing with upturned eyes, and holding a (useless) medicine-bottle. He is tormented by six little demons; one bores into his skull with an auger, another with a bit. A third raises a mallet to strike a wedge into the skull. One sits on his victim's shoulder, holding a music-book and bawling into his ear, another blows a trumpet against his cheek. A sixth runs up his arm to bring a red-hot poker into action."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three dandies (see No. 13029) inspect a velocipede (see No. 13399), which the dealer, bow-legged, horsy, and flashy-looking, holds by the steering-handle. They are outside a stable with an aperture through which look three hungry and startled horses. Above the closed door is a board: 'Stables [scored through] Hobby Horses taken in to mind or Stand at Livery NB a Fine Stud of Real Horses To Be Sold as cheap as dogs meat -- The present proprietor going into the Hobby Line.' A lean stable-hand in patched clothes sits against the wall on an overturned bucket, curry-comb and broom beside him. He glares with a twisted grimace at the velocipede. At his feet is a book: 'Othello's Occupation's gone.' The dealer looks slyly at a dandy (right) who stands with his hands on a cane: "I'll warrant him sound Sir & free from Vice." The other answers: "I can see he has been down once or twice though my lad." A second dandy stoops, hand on knees, to inspect the bar or pole: "He seems to me Jack not to have quite Barrel enough." The third, holding an eye-glass to his eye, says: "Good fore hand by Jupiter." They wear rakish bell-shaped top-hats. In the background a dandy on a velocipede follows a lady, similarly mounted; both wear top-hats; behind them rides a sour-looking groom."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two pretty women run towards each other on velocipedes, see No. 13399. Their short full skirts do not impede their action, and they wear long frilled drawers above neat ankle-boots. Both are very décolletée, one wears a round cap with feathers and tassels, the other an enormous feathered bonnet, with flowers under the scoop. Behind (left) is a country house, a sign-post (right) points towards it: 'To Lark Hall'. The more voluptuous lady (right) says: "I do not see why Ladies should not have a Lark as well as the Gentlemen.""--British Museum online catalogue
