Four Scenes: How to Stop your Horse at Pleasure; Geoffrey Gombado Esq-r.; How to Ride up Hyde Park; A Bit of Blood 1787

Henry William Bunbury's "Four Scenes: How to Stop your Horse at Pleasure; Geoffrey Gombado Esq-r.; How to Ride up Hyde Park; A Bit of Blood" (1787) is a satirical print that humorously depicts the various ways people ride horses in 18th century England. Each panel features a different scene, with titles that directly relate to the image. For example, "How to Stop your Horse at Pleasure" shows a man attempting to stop his horse by desperately reaching through the stable door. This artwork is a great example of the use of satire and humor to comment on social customs of the era.
