"Three pedestrians are walking (right to left) into the teeth of a storm. In front is a very stout man with a globular figure, the lower part of his tightly buttoned coat blows backwards. He wears spurred top-boots, and his hands meet across his chest, holding a stick. He resembles caricatures of Captain Grose, see British Museum Satires Nos. 4683, 5511, 5787, 5802. The next man wears a cloak which streams behind him as does his wig; he has a laced coat and hat, with two large keys tied to his wrist. A lean man (right) puts his head down grimacing as he hastens along, his hair, queue, cravat, coat and breeches all blowing in the wind; his hands are clasped in front holding a stick which rests on his shoulder. Farther off, between the two foremost pedestrians, a man on horseback holds his nose, his bag-wig, cravat, and coat-tails blown by the wind. In front of him (left) a short man is crouching in the lee of a bush, his hat and wig have blown off, a paper flutters from his hand. The clouds extending diagonally from the upper right corner of the design indicate driving hail."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A man rides on a country road in profile to the left, facing a squall of wind and rain which beats the brim of his round hat over his face. He approaches a fork in the road with a signpost (left) showing the roads to 'Oxford' and '[L]ondon'. A bag at the back of his saddle shows that he is 'what is called on the road, a rider, a bag-man or bagster'."--British Museum online catalogue
