This is a drawing of an omnibus. The drawing depicts a horse-drawn omnibus with exaggerated features. It appears to be overfilled with passengers, some wearing top hats. The body of the omnibus is detailed, and the passengers are drawn with exaggerated expressions and proportions. Figures on the roof seem precariously balanced, with one figure attempting to climb aboard from the side. The style is typical of 19th-century satirical cartooning.
