The image is characterized by Rowlandson's typical vibrant, energetic style and attention to detail. It showcases his skill in capturing the absurdity of the situation, as well as his ability to convey narrative through visual means.

The Doctor Syntax series was initially published in the form of literary magazines and later as separate books, with the first book titled "The Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque" released in 1812. The success of the series led to the production of numerous sequels, with "Doctor Syntax and Highwaymen" being part of the subsequent adventures that continued to captivate the British public.
