Satirical print depicting a husband and wife about to embark on a hunting expedition. The woman is dressed in a riding habit with a feathered hat, and carries an umbrella in one hand and her husband's wig in another. She is yawning broadly. The man is loading his gun using a ramrod. A dog stands behind him with a bone in its mouth, and in the background is a man waiting in a cart. A lookout with a pagoda-style roof can also be seen in the distance.

| Object history | This object was part of the John Edmund Gardner collection of topographical prints and drawings of London. After Gardner's death the collection passed to his son Edmund Thomas, but was sold to Edward Coates MP in 1910. The collection was sold again in 1923 after Coates' death, and was split between various institutions and private collectors. The portion connected with Hoxton, Homerton, Hackney and Bethnal Green was bought by the Hon. Arthur Villiers and donated to the Bethnal Green Museum. |
