A view from the street: a carriage with a coachman shown driving on the street in front of the Sidebotham shop with a sign over the shop display windows reading: Opposition Caricature Shop. In the opposite direction on the street, a horse gone wild; another horse is trampled by the carriage horse. A woman flees in terror while a gentleman continues to walk, oblivious to the chaos around him. Sign in the upper right: Bang up!! The public are cautioned against a vile and spurious imitation of the above published car[illegible text].

"Grinning yokels, burlesqued, wheel (right to left) three wheelbarrows; one (right) contains a very fat parson with a gouty leg and grog-blossom nose, who lies on his back, registering impotent rage. Next is a very thin apothecary, holding his gold-headed cane; between his legs is a pestle and mortar containing medicine-bottles, one labelled 'To be well shaken'. On the left is an angry lawyer, holding a bag from which a paper projects. Villagers stand round watching the procession, cheering delightedly. Behind, from among trees, appear a hay-stack, an antique farm or cottage, and a church tower with a large Union flag at its flag-staff."--British Museum online catalogue
