After Henry William Bunbury British

Not on view

Four small scenes make gentle fun of various aspects of riding. In "How to Ride Genteel & Agreeable Down Hill,: a man rides slowly. In "How to Run Away With," a rider tilts back in an effort to control his mount and topples a woman with a wheelbarrow. In "The Mistaken Notion," a young man rides to the left, and in "How to Loose Your Way," a rider whose hat has blown down over his eyes in a squall does not see signposts that point to London and Oxford.
