- Abstract:
- "Scene on a high-road passing through a village. Those who see their livelihood threatened by mechanical transport (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13427) attack the riders of velocipedes (see British Museum Satires No. 13399). In the foreground a dismounted dandy lies on his back, while a fat veterinary surgeon stands with one foot on his chest, squirting a syringe into his mouth. A stalwart blacksmith is breaking the machine into small pieces. The dandy, who is very thin, with a wasp waist, exclaims: "I swear by my stays [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13394], I never will mount a Hobby again! don't now you'll take all the stiffening out of my collar and frill." The man answers: "I'll only give you a dose to make you remember! and if ever I catch you again you shall swallow all the contents of my shop!" The smith says: "That's right Doctor! if we don't exterminate these Hobbies, you'll never have to bleed or drench or I to shoe." Behind him (left) are houses bordering a village street. The mistress and maid of an inn, with 'Man and Horse taken in' over the gate, watch delightedly. Next door is a smithy: 'Anvil Smith and Farrier &c.', adjoining the thatched and gabled cottage of 'Drench Veterinary Surgeon Cows Asses & Dogs cured'. In the middle distance an ostler prises a dandy out of his seat with a pitchfork; he shouts: "D-n you but I'll spoil your sitting! if the Doctor can't get horses to dose he shall have asses to plaster! D-n me! I shall never have an opportunity of cheating a horse of his corn any more if these Hobbies come in Use." The road curves to the left and recedes in perspective, a sign-post pointing 'To Coventry'. A man eggs on a dog to attack a retreating hobby-rider; and a tiny fugitive in the distance shouts: "Dick! steer clear of the Blacksmiths in the next village and put up your Hobby where there is no stabling."--British Museum online catalogue

Three men carrying pikes, at the head of the procession are seen from the back; then comes a man apparently drilling a drummer and bag-piper; a farrier wearing a baldric lettered, "Dr. to the Horse / MD" leads a pony on which rides a man who appears to be one of the leaders of the group and addresses others who are on foot; two men carry large flags, lettered "Delenda est Oxonia / Delend[a est Cantabrigia" and "Pro Collegiis Scotiae". In the foreground left, a blacksmith kneels (the Licentiates brought a blacksmith with them to break open the gates of the College); a dog barks at him. In the background by the entrance to the college stand two Fellows of the College wearing gowns. Several women are watching from windows in the houses, one of which carries a sign with a man in armour." -- from the British Museum online catalogue
