"A scene on a curving road leading to a bridge over a stream in flood; a post is inscribed 'To Ring's End'. A man in back view is clumsily seated on a rough-looking horse which has just lost a shoe, carrying on his head a trunk labelled 'Sr Dennis Doyl with Speed'; he kicks his apparently stationary mount. In the stream is a thatched hovel (left) with the sign: 'Good dry lodgings'; a man walks from it through the water carrying a child and a young pig. His wife stands on the bank wringing out her petticoat, while a large pig struggles to land. A cow looks from the window, two cats are on the roof. A board on the bridge is inscribed 'Dangerous when you See the 2 Small Posts in the Water become Invisable - if you cant Read Inquire at Davy Drench's whole tell you all about it.' A sailing-boat has collided with the bridge, and large stones fall on the heads of its two occupants. On the right is a large tree; a man sits astride a branch which he chops off, while a man who holds a rope attached to it is looking quizzically over his shoulder at the rider carrying the trunk. Man and branch are about to fall on a barrow laden with crockery. On the tree-trunk is a board on which timber-workers are depicted with the inscription: 'My honest Frinnds as you pass by Were hard at work and very dry.' In the foreground (right) a man amusedly points out the pending accident to a woman holding a child who stands beside him. At their feet sits a child eating out of the same dish as a lean pig. Cf. BMSat 8747."--British Museum online catalogue
