Description
View in Whitechapel; the turnpike is in the background, the wide foreground is bordered by houses. Mounted soldiers (right) ride towards the gate behind a baggage-wagon drawn by two horses, on which sit two soldiers, each with a wife and infant. This is preceded by a gun-carriage escorted by five foot-soldiers marching with fixed bayonets. Advancing towards the spectator (left) is a gig drawn by a pair of ponies in which a fat gouty 'cit' is driven by a flighty woman. Beside them rides a vulgar and jaunty 'cit'. A Jew with a basket chaffers with three boys, one a chimney-sweep.
