"A London scene: in the foreground men and women flee diagonally from right to left towards the spectator away from a bullock (right) in the middle distance, pursued by men with sticks. The fugitives include a little chimney-sweeper on the extreme left, a stout citizen wearing a high hat, an old military officer on crutches, a woman who has fallen to the ground, a Billingsgate woman with a basket of fish on her head, the contents about to fall, a would-be beau crouching behind a barrel and taking snuff. The bullock has tossed a dog into the air. The background of houses with an open space enclosed by railings suggests Smithfield Market."--British Museum online catalogue

The image is reversed for viewing through the lens of a Zograscope and designed to give the illusion of a deeper perspective, enhanced by the deep vanishing point and bright colour of the print

A boisterous scene set in Covent Garden. It is likely early morning after a night of carousing. In which the market has been disrupted by a raucous crowd. A man sits atop a sedan chair occupied by a woman. A woman raises her arm to strike a man lying on the ground in front of the sedan chair which has apparently knocked over baskets of assorted produce that are strewn in the foreground. The scene is otherwise crowded with pedlars and other more smartly dressed persons. St. Paul’s Church designed by Inigo Jones is prominent in the left background along with other buildings in the market square
Description:
Title from 2005 Christie's appraisal. and Date based on Nebot's departure from London. See Finberg.
