Coates Bridge
Description
A bridge, possibly Colt Bridge to the west of Edinburgh, spans a river. A man has driven a coach full of people over it and is whipping his team of galloping horses. A horse and rider walk along the road towards the bridge. To the right, a woman on a narrow jetty washes clothes in the water, which flows in front of a row of buildings. There are trees in the background.
