Summary:
Print shows two pretty women on velocipedes. Both are very décolletée, one wears a round cap with feathers and tassels, the other an enormous feathered bonnet, with flowers under the scoop. Behind is a country house, and a sign-post points towards it: 'To Lark Hall'. The more voluptuous lady at right is saying: "I do not see why Ladies should not have a Lark as well as the Gentlemen."
