    Following PU1/17/19/1.1, this shows an effigy of George Hudson being paraded through a street, along one side of which is a wall on which are stuck advertisements for railway schemes. The 'Guy' is carried on horizontal poles by two men who have stags' antlers growing from their ears—a reference the financially-dubious railway 'stags'.
