Abstract:
"Two scenes printed on one sheet, the subjects relate to Bunbury's days as a student at Cambridge. "Pot Fair Cambridge": pots are laid out on tables for sale. A fat divine stumbles backward as dogs fight in the foreground. A seller at right is alarmed as he threatens to fall onto her table. "The College Gate": Three men ride off in different directions after coming through a gate with square brick pillars surmounted by stone vases. Behind the left rider walks a fat divine wearing an academic cap. Through the gateway we are shown a short fat man in a clerical wig standing on a mounting block as a groom approaches with his horse."--Metropolitan Museum of Art online catalog

"Pitt as Death on the pale Horse rides naked on the White Horse of Hanover, galloping over the prostrate bodies of pigs; other pigs, a multitude extending to the horizon, flee before him. On the horse's fringed saddle-cloth is a crown. Pitt is very emaciated, his flaming hair streams behind him encircled by a fillet inscribed 'Destruction'. In his right hand is a large flaming sword; in his left he holds the thread-like body of a scaly monster with gaping jaws, webbed wings, and serpent's tail. Behind him on the horse's hind quarters sits a naked imp wearing the feathered coronet of the Prince of Wales, with the motto 'Ich di[en]'. He grasps Pitt, and kisses his posterior; in his left hand he holds out a paper: 'Provision for the Millenium £125,000 pr An'. The horse's tail streams out, expanding into clouds, and merging with the flames of Hell which rise from the extreme right. In the tail and flames imps are flying, headed by Dundas holding a pitchfork; he wears a wig and plaid with horns and webbed wings. Behind are three imps: Loughborough, indicated as usual by an elongated judge's wig in back view (cf. BMSat 6796); Burke with webbed wings and serpent's tail; Pepper Arden [Identified by Wright and Evans as Lord Kenyon. The identification in the text is confirmed by Lord Holland.] wearing a large wig. In the foreground (right) Pitt's opponents are being kicked towards Hell by the horse's hind legs. Fox has just been violently struck in the face, and staggers backwards, clutching a paper inscribed 'Peace'. Sheridan lies prone, face downwards, hands raised, as if for mercy. Wilberforce sits on the ground clasping his 'Motion for a Peace' (see BMSat 8637). Behind Fox Lansdowne looks up from the ground, clenching his fists. On the extreme right the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Stanhope, and the Duke of Grafton are about to plunge into the flames: Fox in falling is pushing them over. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"An imitation of Patriotick Meteors, British Museum Satires No. 4887 (1771). Three heads, with rays or fire streaming from them, dart downwards and to the right into the gaping jaws of a monster from which issue the flames of Hell (cf., e.g., British Museum Satires No. 10011), inscribed Gulf of Oblivion. Alderman Wood is foremost, from his neck hangs a rolled document: Queen's Will. His trail of fire expands behind him from the end of his tiny pigtail, and is inscribed Wisdom [see British Museum Satires No. 13899, &c.]. Next is the profile head of Sheriff Waithman; the fiery trail expands from the end of his black bag, and is inscribed Inquest. Last is the head of a horse, with a black bag and tail like that of Waithman, inscribed Queen's Mayor [Thorpe]. Double civic chains hang from the necks of the last two."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Holiday-seekers driving and walking along a high-road with a margin of grass, evidently the Sunday crowd of 'cits' so often described in contemporary satire. The chief group is a high phaeton of fashionable shape, but attached to two miserable hacks, who refuse to move, though they are being dragged at the head by a man with a long whip. The driver, who wears a looped hat and top-boots, kneels in the phaeton leaning forward over the horses and raising his (broken) whip with an expression of fury. His companions are two ladies of pleasure who sit one on each side of him. The one on his right holds up the top of the broken whip, its lash streaming behind her. The other, smiling, holds his left arm as if to prevent his falling from the carriage in his excitement. On the panel of the phaeton are the initials "ON". This carriage-full has just been passed on the right by a fashionably dressed man driving (right to left) a high-stepping horse in one of the new high two-wheeled gigs, see British Museum Satires Nos. 5933, 6146. He looks round at them laughing. Behind (right) is a hackney coach (number 251) driving from left to right, the horse being cut off by the margin of the print. A woman seated on the box holds the rein. Through the window over the door (it has no side windows) is seen a man seated with his back to the horse. A man sits on the roof looking through a telescope. Riding in the same direction (left to right) on the off-side of the hackney coach are an elderly man on a long-tailed cob or pony and a pretty young lady on a white horse. A spaniel runs behind them. In the foreground are pedestrians. A man stands in back view, legs apart, gazing at the stationary phaeton. On the extreme left a dejected-looking man and his wife walk wearily along. He wears a handkerchief tied round his head, under his hat, she holds his wig in her left hand, her right hand rests on the small of his back. He is carrying his stick in one hand, in the other a large bouquet of flowers in a paper sheath. Two dogs approach each other. Behind the two pedestrians, a man on horseback is in difficulties, his reins are slack and he holds the mane of the horse, which appears to be about to advance across the road in front of the advancing gig. In the background is a park-paling with trees showing above it."--British Museum online catalogue

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
