"Heading to printed verses ... A young woman sits a donkey which is in the sea, refusing to move; she flourishes her parasol. Holiday-makers stand on the sea-shore watching with amusement. In the background one lady is being thrown from her donkey, another is galloping. In the verses a she-ass relates to a mere beast of burden the delights of frolicking by the sea: 'Fashion here tells young lasses to ride On the best walk that ever was seen'."--British Museum online catalogue
