The Dandy and His Postillion - or the Waay to Laugh Up Hill, 1819. 'Ha! Ha! Ha! poor fellow! goodbye! He! He! He!'. 'Cus these hills! If the lace of my Stays should break I'm done over'. The hobby horse was a forerunner of the bicycle. It lacked pedals and gears, and had to be carried up hills. One enterprising rider has attached a dog (with monkey postilion) to his vehicle, and is being pulled uphill. Attributed to William Heath.
