Abstract:
"A stout, complacent-looking man rides a small horse in profile to the left. He has a very bad seat and is pulling hard on the curb; the animal puts down its head. A servant on a rough-looking pony canters behind him, carrying a basket of hay and a triangular box or package (perhaps his master's hat-box) under his left arm. The scene is a country road, with a signpost (left) pointing 'To Hackney, To Isling[ton'], and (down a turning on the right of the riders) to 'Shoredi[tch]'. The post stresses the idea conveyed in the drawing, that this is a citizen riding to or from his country-box in the suburbs."--British Museum online catalogue

"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

"George IV rides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399, &c.), the seat of which is a green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735). From the bag projects Majocchi's head, with the steering-bar attached to his mouth. The King asks: "Do you know all you have to swear?" Majocchi answers "Non mi Ricordo" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827, &c.]. By the machine, leading the way 'To Cotton Garden' (placard on a tree-trunk), walk Gifford, holding under his arm a large 'Bill of [Pa]in's &c' and Copley, both in wig and gown. Behind walks Sidmouth, squirting his clyster-pipe at the back of the King's head; he says: "We shall loose the Trial because these Italian Devils cannot recollect one day what they are told to swear the other." On the extreme left and at the tail of the procession walks Castlereagh, both hands on Sidmouth's shoulders. He says: "I wish they would take me instead I think I could manage it.""--British Museum online catalogue
