This 1861 cartoon illustration captures a humorous moment on the streets of England as a road builder energetically rams paving and kerb blocks into place, creating a sudden noise that startles a nearby horse. The satirical drawing showcases the chaos and commotion of urban construction in the 19th century, with the unsuspecting animal caught in the midst of it all. The detailed artwork highlights the skillful craftsmanship of the illustrator, who expertly captures the expressions of both man and beast in this lively scene.
