"Published as the act directs 6 Nov 1778." A lady, wearing over her dress a military coat with epaulets, stands plying her whip as she drives the two small white ponies who pull her carriage past "To Cox Heath" signpost. A fat officer sleeps at her side, his hands clasped around his sword & a dog sits in front of her. Observing the spectacle from a side road are three country travellers in a covered wagon which bears a sign "The Maidstone stage waggon."
