One of a set of twelve prints that make fun of different sorts of mounts. Here, a man on horseback has stopped outside a tavern and holds a drink while his mount leans down towards the newspaper of another man seated at a table. Text above reads: "What are you poking your nose here about you don't want to read the News paper do you?"
