A grotesque caricature attacking the much-debated 1820 settlement scheme which encouraged English people to settle in South Africa, where they were promised fertile land and a pleasant climate. In the print, a working-class English family are shown being attacked by a snake, lion and crocodile while highly stereotyped and racist depictions of the local population are seen cannibalizing the family and burning down their home

"A fat ugly man stands in a dilapidated wash-house, one foot on a rough stool, the other trampling on his wig; he gazes up at a noose hanging from a beam, saying, "Oh! my hard Fate!" / Why did I trust her ever?" / What story is not full of Womans Falsehood?" At his feet is a letter: 'You old Fool if you ever [? trouble] me again with your Stupid epistles I will expose you in the public Papers Peggy Perkins.' Below the title: 'No Cure no Pay.' Below the design are eight lines of verse, beginning and ending: 'The one end of a Rope fasten over a beam And make a slip noose at the other extreme, . . . The cricket [stool] kick'd down let him take a fair swing And leave all the rest of the work to the string."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A man in old-fashioned (gold-laced) dress rides a velocipede in front of which on the pole is a seat with arms, for a passenger, occupied by an elderly woman with a cat on her knee. Behind her sits a monkey who stretches backwards to clutch the man by the nose, while a second monkey perched on the back of the machine tugs at his pigtail, and waves his victim's laced cocked hat. From the front of the pole, under the woman's seat, hangs a cage containing a parrot. A lap-dog tied to the back of the machine is dragged along in the dust. There is a landscape background. The woman is the typical old maid of caricature. The rider is probably her footman or coachman."--British Museum online catalogue
