Hogarth is shown fleeing from a village, his hat flying off as a scolding woman at his side points to cow horns that appear over his head. The horns are numbered “1”, a reference to a table below to Hogarth's prints "Four times the day". A chimney sweep behind Hogarth holds up his print “H- [of] Prussia” as he steals from his satchel the 'March to Finchley'. Another chimney sweep -- numbered “2” referencing the table below that identifies him as "a painter"--rides a sow and carries a palette as a shield emblazoned with a “line of beauty”. Exemplifying the "lines of beauty". Hogarth's dog bits the woman's drapery; a greyhound steals from a pail hanging from the yoke of a milkmaid; a cripple with his crutch, wooden leg, and natural leg. The design includes numerous other references to other Hogarth prints and Centered below the main design is an etching of Hogarth in stocks under a pump. Mounted on the pump is a broadside inscribed: "Puggs proposals to his Dunces to humbug them by an election feast a burlesque on the wort[hy] members o[f Parlia]ment 1754." Parts of the image are lettered, referencing a table to the right
