This is a black and white illustration depicting a chaotic and somewhat whimsical scene. It appears to be a satirical take on urbanization or city expansion. The text at the bottom of the image reads, "LONDON going out of Town. — or — The March of Bricks & Mortar, - " which suggests this scene is a commentary on the growth of London during the time period. The illustration is bustling with activity and shows various buildings, bricks, and other construction materials seemingly moving outwards from a central point. To the left, we see buildings on wheels being moved by anthropomorphic tools such as trowels, hammers, and saws walking on their own. A bridge in the middle of the composition is also made up of tools and bricks. In the sky, there's a whimsical touch with clouds shaped like rows of houses, indicating that even the sky isn't untouched by this outward march. The whole image conveys a sense of unstoppable progress (or possibly invasion) of the urban landscape into the surrounding countryside. The style of the illustration is somewhat caricatured, with comedic elements such as the personified tools, which might suggest that the artist is taking a critical or humorous stance on the issue of urban sprawl. The illustration is also marked with "Designed Etched & Pubd. by G. Spratt, 1st Novr. 1829." indicating the artist’s name and the date of publication.
