The Rev. Dr. Syntax Loses his Money on the Raceground at York
The image depicts a horse racing scene. A large, white, multi-level building with arched windows and a crowd of people on the roof and balcony stands in the background. The building has a flat roof with people standing on it. In the foreground, several men in 18th-century attire are standing and watching the race. Some of them are holding their hats in the air. Four jockeys on horseback are racing. The horses are brown and white. A hill with a windmill and a few buildings is visible in the distance. The sky is cloudy. The scene appears to be set at a racetrack.
