| Title | Gig Hauling, or Gentlemanly Amusement for the Nineteenth Century |
| Date | 20 Dec 1801 |
| Description | Two country men look on as two fashionably dressed young men each pull a gig from left to right. Both young men have their hair in brutus crops, and are wearing hessian boots, long trousers, jean-de-brie coats, high white cravats and round hats. They are holding the shafts of the carriages and have bits in their mouths. In each of the carriages there is a coachman wearing a round hat and holding a whip. The two country men, one wearing a coat, the other a smock, stand arm-in-arm on the right. The one on the left says: "I say John - what be these coming here? - be they men or horses", the one on the right replies: "Why I should rather think by the look of em they be asses."
