Summary: 

Print shows holiday-seekers driving and walking along a high-road with a margin of grass. The chief group is a high phaeton of fashionable shape, but attached to two miserable hacks, who refuse to move, though they are being dragged at the head by a man with a long whip. The driver, who wears a looped hat and top-boots, kneels in the phaeton leaning forward over the horses and raising his (broken) whip with an expression of fury. His companions are two ladies who sit one on each side of him. Riders and carriages pass the halted phaeton, while dogs and pedestrians occupy the foreground of the scene.
