On the street in front of the shop of S.W. Fores & Co. a mix of Londoners -- trades people, clergy, gentleman and ladies, etc. -- fight the effects of a very strong wind: a parson loses his wig, a woman's dress is blown up over her hips revealing her large buttocks; a woman selling fish has fallen to the ground, her hat and wares strewn across the sidewalk as a man with a walking stick trips over her, etc. Above the shop window is a sign that reads "Prints &c wholesale & for expotation".

A view from the street: a carriage with a coachman shown driving on the street in front of the Sidebotham shop with a sign over the shop display windows reading: Opposition Caricature Shop. In the opposite direction on the street, a horse gone wild; another horse is trampled by the carriage horse. A woman flees in terror while a gentleman continues to walk, oblivious to the chaos around him. Sign in the upper right: Bang up!! The public are cautioned against a vile and spurious imitation of the above published car[illegible text].
