Abstract:
"A young man driving (right to left) one of the new high two-wheeled gigs, see British Museum Satires Nos. 5933, 6143. Its small body is poised high on springs above the large wheels; the driver leans forward to whip his pair of high-stepping horses, which are about to descend a precipitous hill. He wears the plain high-crowned hat which was so great a novelty in 1781 (see British Museum Satires No. 5931, &c.) and top-boots. On the panel of the gig is a draped escutcheon with monogram or cipher. In the foreground are bushes and rough ground with a milestone, "Miles XXI"."--British Museum online catalogue
