"Cits" (residents of the City of London) ride horses from left to right, accompanied by dogs, three of whom have stopped to fight over a piece of meat. At upper left, a sign points to "The Bald Stag," while another at right indicates the nearby presence of "The Old Green Man" (both public houses or inns).
