"Three men, two on horseback, wearing new-fashioned hats. The centre figure is seen in back view on horseback, he wears a large hat with a high cylindrical crown round which are spaced six hat-bands. In the foreground (right) is a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat whose crown is shaped like an inverted flower-pot. He is looking through a small telescope. These two both carry knotted sticks. The third man who is cantering (left to right) in the middle distance (left) wears a similar hat. All three wear spurred top-boots in the fashion of the moment, with very long tops descending well below the calf of the leg."--British Museum online catalogue

A lady, wearing over her dress a military coat with epaulets, stands plying her whip as she drives the two small white ponies who pull her carriage past the Cox Heath signpost. Her clothes mirror those of the fat and elderly militia officer who sleeps in the seat at her side, his hands clasped around his sword. A large dog sits in front of her. Observing the spectacle from a side road are three country travellers in a covered wagon which bears a sign "The Maidstone Common Stage Waggon".
