They pass various buildings and inns along the way, cross a river in boats or on ferries for horses and carriages, arriving at the field for the prize fight complete with betting stands. The final two scenes show a man being tossed by a bull and the interior of a coaching yard.The dandy-horse was a two-wheeled vehicle with a seat, as in a bicycle, but without pedals and propelled by the rider's feet running along the ground. It was invented by the German Karl Drais in 1817 and named a laufmaschine or "running machine", then patented by him in France as a vélocipède in 1818. This panorama, dated 1819, therefore shows an early example in England.
