The roof of the carriage is loaded with bags and a cage filled with poultry; the one bag is labeled 'Brussels'. Another cage of birds swings off the bottom of the carriage in the back, the top of which is covered in a tarp. The driver whips the lead team. A coat of arms decorates the door to the carriage

"A number of persons take shelter under the enormous hat-brim of a lady who screams, clasping her hands in alarm. An infant chimney-sweep or 'climbing boy' has climbed up her petticoats and sits astride on their lateral projection. A larger chimney-sweep is about to climb up, putting one foot on his sack of soot. A cloaked market-woman, smoking a pipe, stands under the shelter, as does a man in the dress of a naval officer. A sailor, wearing trousers, his arms folded, appears to be dancing a hornpipe under the shelter of the hat. In the background (right) a lady walks (right to left) holding up a small umbrella which shelters only a minute part of her enormous hat which extends far beyond her projecting breast and petticoats. In the foreground chickens run towards a hen for shelter. A house (left) and a high wall behind which is a tree (right) complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands at her dressing-table (right), her hair in an enormous pyramid decorated with feathers torn from a peacock, an ostrich and a cock. A young girl wearing a hat holds the peacock by a wing; another wearing a cap tugs hard at one of its tail feathers (which are very unlike peacock's feathers). An ostrich (left), which has lost most of its tail feathers, is about to pluck out those which ornament the lady's hair. A cock stands in the foreground (right), having lost almost all its tail feathers, many of which lie on the floor. A black servant wearing a turban stands on his mistress's right, handing feathers from a number which he holds in his left hand. The lady, who faces three-quarter to the right, is elaborately dressed in the fashion of the day. Her pyramid of hair is decorated with lappets of lace and festoons of jewels as well as with feathers. She wears large earrings, a necklace with a cross, her bodice is cut very low, and her elbow sleeves have lace ruffles. A pannelled wall forms the background."--British Museum online catalog

Abstract:
Four rows of designs with one to three designs in each, individually titled. In the upper left and reading across, "Daddy Longlegs" shows a very think, long-legged man poised to smash the insect on his wall. To the right, on top "The itinerant chanceller" is a scene with a cricketer about to bat a large ball and below a scene with men wearing Dutch-style hats watch as one of the group takes a small ball and readies to bowl down a stand of large, egg-shaped objects. On the far right of the first row, a portly man greets a thin, frail man with wings as ears that extend above his hat, wearing glasses and leaning on a cane. The larger man says "Bless my soul Mr. Pidgeonwidgen! How do ye do. Well now, you look uncommon well considering your Ears." On the second row left, “Follow my leader”, the top image shows a thin man laboring up a hill as he pulls a very large man seated and reading at ease in the a four-wheeled chair. Below three men carrying guns stand up to their necks in a river having followed a taller man in a top hat calmly walking ahead. The speech balloon above their heads reads, “Didn't I tell ye it was only up to the middle.” The first smaller man replies, “The middle indeed. Why we are up to our necks d'ye think our legs are stilts like yours.” In the middle of the second row, A very thin man in Scotish costume (Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux?) striding vigorously using a broom as a walking stick and burdened with boxes and bags on his back and waist, labelled “Freedoms of Scotch Towns”, “Broken Vituals the remnants of the Edinburgh Gorge.”, and “Proceeds of the Penny Mag.” The caption below reads, “I flatter myself I've made a tolerable good job by my “Starring it” with Old Grey in the North. Sold all my numbers of the Penny Mag. and well puff'd it thro' applause with the ex-premier. Received some score of Burgesses, Freedoms, and Invitations to as many dinners where I blew my own trumpet & obtain'd plenty of orders from our 'Usefull Knowledge Society', now “woe” to the unstamn'd when I get home.” The last image in row two, on the right, is un-captioned and shows a devil riding behind a horseman bolting across an evening sky. Below two men peak through tall grass and observe an otter and The third row contains a single image captioned “Something like a chase” which shows horsemen following their hounds across a field and over a fence, many of whom have fallen their horses or encountered other types of accidents and falls. In the distance is a small sign indicating that they rode from Wombell's. In the last row, on the left, two men, one with a gun with a barrel turned at 90 degrees, peak out from around the corner of a building, looking at a rooster and some chickens. The caption reads, “Paddy's gun, warranted to shoot around the corner.” The first man says, “Put ye spalpeen, wat are you after, if you let it off, by my soul it'll blow ye to de Divil.” To which the man with the gun replies, “Ock, come out now and hav'nt I made it into a 'Patent Cylindrical Twisted Barrel Gun' and dont day shoot de best, ye Murphy digger.” In the middle of the bottom row, is an image of a constable apprehending a frightened chimney sweep, with the caption “Reforming the Clergy”. The constable says, “Come along, you've hacted contrary to the Hact of Parlyment in crying out “Sweep”. There's 40 bob for ye or else a month in Quad." To which the sweep replies, “Oh criky, don't grab me this here vunce and I'll no not never cry Sweep agin. Vot's us poor flue-sakers to do if as how ve don't cry summut all for to let the people know or how ve are in the streets.” Two other laborers, another sweep and a swag man, in the distance on the right and left, observe “Does any lady or Gemmen's flue pipe vont expurgating.” The other says, “The law have mercy on us.” The third and final image at the end of the fourth row has the caption “A Crack Shot” with an image of a man with a caricatured face and a top hat, holding a gun in his hands and an umbrella between his legs as he stands before a door, the top half of which is open; a bird in a cage hangs to the side of the door. The speech balloon above his head reads, “There's one at last, the only chance of a shy I've had to day. There's nobody here, he, he, Now if I don't flummox ye my pink, say my mother has'nt sold her mangle

"A design in two compartments; above, cavalry proceed right to left; below, infantry march left to right. [1] A burlesqued procession of men variously mounted. The leader, dressed as a light horseman and holding up a sabre, rides a horse with blinkers, trampling on a hen and chickens and leaving a dead pig behind him. He says: "Know all Men by these presents that if any accidents happen I do not Consider myself accountable for them after thus publiccally Warning every Person to keep within doors all all [sic] their live and Dead Stock!!" The next horseman, whose hat flies off, turns to shout: "Hollo there, some body be so good as to catch my hat." He is followed by a silent man riding a bull. Next him a man threatens with his sword a ragged boy on an ass: "What are you at you young scoundrel are you going to ride over the Captain keep in your rank you." The boy answers: "What d'ye mean by that I have as much right here as you." A man clasps his horse's neck, saying, "Curse the Horse how he Prances." Behind the ass, the horse of a man in civilian dress falls on its knees, throwing its rider, who says: "D------n the chimney Sweeper I thought he'd be over us." A rider (horse visible) shouts "Take care of the Apple Stall", while an old woman throws up her arms, shouting, "O Dear Mr Soldier dont ride over me." She is in danger from a man in regimentals, gauntlet gloves, and wearing a sword, but whose horse has blinkers. A man turns to him, saying, "D------n me you'll kill the old woman." He answers: "What signifies that charge her to the parish." The last of the procession is a yokel in a smock, on a horse with blinkers and collar. He rides down a pig and poultry; his neighbour turns to him, saying, "Mind what you are hat - you Sir in the Blue Frock if you kill the Pigs it will be actionable." He answers : "Then let them keep out of the way of the Sarvice." [2] An unsoldierly group march with bayoneted muskets, preceded by two boys with fife and drum. The officer, wearing a gorget and holding up a sword, scowls at a man behind him who raises his leg so high as to kick him, saying: "None of your tricks Jack dont Fancy you are in the shop now": the grinning offender is addressed by a man wearing a Grenadier's cap who marches beside him: "Mind what you are about or you will be had before a Court Martial". A man with tipsily closed eyes says, "I'm as giddy as a goose." A short, fat, elderly man in civilian dress says, "Warm work my Masters". His neighbour answers, "Nothing when you are used to it". A man wearing an apron rests his musket horizontally on his shoulder, saying, "This is the way to march"; he spikes the hat of the man behind, who shouts: "What are you at you fellow in green are you going to poke peoples eyes out". A stout man says, "When I kept the tripe Shop in the Borough who would have thought I should have rose to be an Insign." Beside him walks a woman with a bottle and glass shouting, "Does any Gentlemen in the front ranks want a drap of good Gin." A Grenadier marches beside the last couple looking contemptuously at a man in a shirt who says: "By goles this thing [musket] is so heavy it's the best way to drag it along and not carry it." The last man, who is bandy-legged, says, "I donna much like it."."--British Museum online catalogue
