Charles Fox and Lord North follow the post sign to "St. James 5 Miles." The surface of their saddles is covered with large projecting spikes. Lord North, holding a roll signed, "Taxation" under his arm, has lost his stirrup and holds on to the saddle of his fast trotting horse with an expression of anguish. Fox behind him holds a roll signed, "Coalition." In an attempt to relieve his awkward position, he has dropped the reins and tries to support his weight by leaning on the horse's withers and rump

Abstract:
A gentleman in a riding habit (left) rides his horse through the door of a cottage startling the family who sit at their dinner table. The man's hunting dog jumps at the young son who sits closest to the door; he screams in terror, his fork and knife frozen part way to his mouth and his leg thrown up, spilling a pitcher from the table. The mother raises up her arms in terror, letting the cutlery fly; in her mouth is a gnawed bone. Behind her is a wall with shelves lined with dishes and mugs. Her husband (right), back to the viewer, turns to the intruder pointing a long spear. His knife and fork are on the floor below his chair. The gentleman addresses the cottagers, "Och, dont disturb y'rselves my Nonies I only want to know whether you cou'd be after informing me where I cou'd meet with a decent night's lodging for man and beast."

An older gentleman is on horseback strapped into a contraption that limits the horses movement (as such, it won't move above a trot pace), limits any jolting movements and also provides shade and cover through the attachment of an umbrella. In the left background, a horseman struggles to control his horse as a panicked lady watches on and his top hat flies off behind him. To the right a male onlooker peers through his monocle in awe of the timid horsemen's contraption

"An Irishman riding (left to right) on a horse. He is dressed as a military officer, with epaulettes. In his hat is a cross in a medallion. In his right hand, and resting on his shoulder, is a sword on which potatoes are spitted. In his left hand he holds out a wineglass. Two fish are slung on his right arm, under it is a sickle. Various objects are attached to his saddle or his person including a tankard, a small set of bagpipes, a candle-stick, a large fish; a small Irish harp decorates the hindquarters of his horse. The background, seen between the horse's feet, is the sea-shore with ships. A border decorates the two sides of the print, surmounted (left) by a frowning mask, with a dagger through one eye, and (right) by a smiling mask. To a vertical line of conventional fruit and foliage are attached a number of objects, including a horn and goblet, a flute, a flail and rake, a wine-bottle and glass, a sheaf of corn and a sickle. Beneath the design is engraved: "So sweet St Patrick comes, Dear Joy to Day, Smiles on his face with Merriment & Play. With good store of Tattoes, Sweet Buttermilk, & Whisky, Small Pipes, & Usquebaugh to make us Dance Frisky. Then banish all care, and meagre sorrow, We'll Celebrate this Day not trust to morrow. Let's Rant & Roar & make the House Ring, Drink to St Patrick's Day in the Morning.""--British Museum online catalogue
