A simple drayman stands scratching his head as he stops to talk to a man who sits on a wooden crate as he drinks from a tankard outside a country inn. A pretty woman stands in the doorway (the sign for the inn just visible over her head) holding another large tankard of foaming beer in her hands; beside her a short country man smokes his pipe, his beer on the bench beside the trough. On the right in the background, unnoticed by the party at the inn, one man helps a woman climb a ladder into the back of the wagon as another in the wagon helps her climb

Below are kettle-drum, cartouche-box, musket, sword, and bayonet. BILLINGSGATINA: A buxom and comely fish-wife shouting her wares. A chain of eels, lobster, crab reaches a basket in which are oysters and large fish. The above two heads were closely copied, c. 1815, as a French caricature (title 'Caricature Angloise.

These are draped from his shoulders and rest upon an open pedlar's box filled with scissors, spectacles, razors, spoons, purses, knives, rosaries, seals, a watch."--British Museum online catalogue

An imitation of the celebrated Paris sign-board of the restaurant Au Boeuf à la mode, rue de Valois, of which there is a French print. ... A cow wearing a hat, cravat, and shawl gazes to the right. On hind-legs (left) are boots of Hessian type, on the fore-legs cross-gartered slippers; a miniature of a bull hangs from her neck. Rowlandson's design has more resemblance to and probably derives from another version of this subject, engraved by Leclerc after Laucon ...
