"A man rides (right to left) a violently shying horse, passing on the near side a two-wheeled farmer's cart, driving left to right, in which are seated a man and woman, the backs of their heads being visible. The front part of the cart is cut off by the right edge of the design. The horseman wears a naval uniform, his hat flies off, he tugs at his rein with both hands. He is attempting to pass between the cart and a steep bank. At the back of the cart a goose puts its head through a basket to hiss at the horse. A dog barks at the bird."--British Museum catalogue

Heading to printed verses. George IV has just come ashore, with a boat seen on the coast behind him and the royal yacht out in the water beyond; he carries a scepter in his right hand a large green bag on his back, the ties of which resemble antlers or horns above his head. A group of men with donkey ears greet him on the left; one man holds a flag showing two cows, and another a long document with the heading "Cows." Behind the King, on the right edge of the design, three men in uniform look on.
