They include in the foreground a boy with a stout woman carrying a basket, and a well-dressed woman with her hands in a muffler accompanied by a snub-nosed man in a tall hat carrying a carpet bag and umbrella. In the background are stagecoaches, and a queue of passengers at Boxmoor station, with a rudimentary steam locomotive and carriages waiting. On the horizon are steam and sailing ships, and in the sky are hot air balloons, and flying messengers equipped with wings. At the centre of the illustration is a statue of a figure of oriental appearance, with a sleeping pig beneath. Although unsigned the style is the same as in cartoons produced by the artist "C.A.S." At bottom is written "POSTAGE FOUR PENCE" and the paper is marked with a red postal stamp, a cartouche with the inscription "G PAID 14MY14".
