    Follows on from PU1/48/21/6. Using the magnet to symbolise the attractive power of the Epsom Derby, this illustration shows two horse-racing 'magnates' sitting astride a giant upturned horseshoe magnet, itself pivoting on an enormous horsewhip. The magnetic poles are seen drawing large groups of horse-racing punters, and bags of money. The rest of the picture includes illustrations of the jockeys and their horses, and the food and drink associated with the horse-race.
