Men and women, in summer dresses, hurry (right to left) through drenching rain, mud-spattered almost to the waist. In the centre a young man holds up a large umbrella, a young woman on each arm. He wears tight-fitting pantaloons to the ankle, and says: "Oh Lud my poor Pantaloons quite dish'd". A stout woman in back view (left), skirts kilted above the knee, holds up a fan to protect her head, saying, "Bless me I hope I dont shew my Legs". A 'cit' and his wife walk arm-in-arm, she says: "Why my Dearee I cant carry this load of Rain &amp; dirt and Drag you too". On the extreme right a scantily draped young woman tries to protect her head with a small parasol on a jointed stick (cf. BMSat 8754), saying, "What will my Lord say to this". A man wearing a star (Queensberry) stares at her back through an eye-glass, saying, "Well this is a review indeed". A half-drowned dog (left) drags itself along. In the background are other figures, some with umbrellas. (Some inscriptions have not been transcribed.) 5 June 1800
