Four Scenes: How to Ride Genteel & Agreeable Down Hill; How to be Run Away With; The Mistaken Notion; How to Loose Your Way 1787

Henry William Bunbury's humorous print, "Four Scenes: How to Ride Genteel & Agreeable Down Hill; How to be Run Away With; The Mistaken Notion; How to Loose Your Way," satirizes the perils of horseback riding. Created in 1787, this hand-colored aquatint features four vignettes of a rider encountering various mishaps, like being thrown from their horse or becoming hopelessly lost. This work is a delightful example of 18th-century British caricature that continues to entertain audiences today.
