One of a set of twelve prints that make fun of different sorts of mounts. Here, a man on horseback ambles along throug the countryside making notes in a book. Text above reads: "This is the finest Horse in the World for a calculation–keeps time to a Second! he goes tis true but like the finest wheels of a clock his motion is scarcely perceptible!"
