"A well-dressed crowd stand outside, enter, or struggle to enter a wide doorway, above which in large letters is No 5, flanking an elaborate fan-light. They mount steps from the street, throng the vestibule, and are seen through an open window (right) ascending a staircase. A man in the vestibule shouts: Ladies and Gentlemen! I have the honour to inform those who are dissapointed of places that it comenses again at 1, 2 and 3 and at 7, 8 and 9 in the Evening. On the inner wall is inscribed Panor[ama] . . . Falls [of] Clyde Glascow Greenock. On the left a lady says to the man whose arm she takes: I am told the King looks very Majestic and Elegant! He answers: He is positively moveing like life, and as large too! Many others, of different types and classes, make remarks expressing their desire to see the show: Do you think it is worth half a Crown . . .? and Half a Crown! I assure you its worth a Sovereign! . . .; I really thought myself in the Abbey."--British Museum online catalogue
