A sailor sits on the ground outside a house from which a man (doctor) emerges to offer assistance. He has an amused look on his face as he holds his broken peg leg. One of his two companions puts up his hand to hold off the assistance of the doctor as his other companion beckons to a carpenter who carries a plank of wood and a saw in addition to his lunch pail. A woman stands at the window looking out on the scene, her finger to her nose and a slight smile on her face. A small dog walks along the road beside the approaching carpenter

"Two sailors ride (right to left) a velocipede (see No. 13399) with two saddles on the elongated bar. At the back is a seat for two passengers in which are two gaily dressed women. The first sailor says over his shoulder: "D--n it Jack this is rare sailing without a wind!" The front wheel collides with a dandy (left), who has dropped his steering-bar (which has dropped to the ground) and is about to fall off. Jack answers: "A very pretty invention Tom! D--n it we shall run down the Dandy!" The dandy (cf. No. 13029) shouts: "Curse you you tarpaulins Wy don't you mind how you steer." One of the women holds a bottle and glass; she looks back saying: "Vy Poll this beats the Dilly [diligence]!! Vy Poll it' s capsized!!" Poll sits back with folded arms, one leg resting on the second sailor's shoulder. She answers: "And we have capsized a Dandy!!" In the background (right) a mail-coach lies on its side; men, women, and luggage from the outside are on the ground; an inside passenger tries to climb from the window."--British Museum online catalogue
