"A tall lean parson bestrides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) outside a small thatched cottage (left) built against the slope of a mountain. His wife with four children, all five bare-legged, watch the (perilous) departure; she says: "Well my Dear I am quite pleased you have got a Hobby; you will now be able to get through your Duty with ease and comfort!" He looks back to say: "Comfort indeed my Dear! it is only ten Miles you know, I shall now perform the Service and be back by the time the kettle boils!--I hope they will build some more Churches in Wales, for I shall be able to undertake six of them!!!" In his pocket is a paper: 'Sermon on the benefit of Poverty'. The rough track descends towards a narrow valley (right). Beside the cottage is a ramshackle shed from which a pig looks out."--British Museum online catalogue

A view from the street: a carriage with a coachman shown driving on the street in front of the Sidebotham shop with a sign over the shop display windows reading: Opposition Caricature Shop. In the opposite direction on the street, a horse gone wild; another horse is trampled by the carriage horse. A woman flees in terror while a gentleman continues to walk, oblivious to the chaos around him. Sign in the upper right: Bang up!! The public are cautioned against a vile and spurious imitation of the above published car[illegible text].
