Title
Mr Hamilton Bell, W. S., carrying a vintner's boy from Edinburgh to Musselburgh, and Mr John Rae, surgeon-dentist, accompanying him in the character of bottle-holder
Description
A tall man carries a boy on his back and is accompanied by a shorter man holding a bottle and a walking stick. They are both smartly dressed and wear tall hats and shoes with buckles. They pass two fisherwomen who are walking in the opposite direction. The women carry large bags of fish on their backs and support the weight by resting the straps on their foreheads.
