Abstract:: "Three grotesque and ill-matched soldiers charge rapidly and fiercely down the pavement. Their bayonets threaten three women who flee in terror, only legs, petticoats, and an upraised arm being visible on the extreme right. One soldier, very thin and ragged, wears a busby, the next, who is fat, wears a huge cocked hat with a damaged brim, the third, who is small, wears a peaked helmet with a spiky plume. The uniform coats with epaulettes are worn over frilled shirts and ragged breeches. Behind the three march others of the company, wearing busbies, and holding their muskets against their shoulders. In the background shop-windows are freely sketched."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A grotesque body of tradesmen, &c, march in close formation, with fixed bayonets. They wear military coats and crossed bandoliers with very unsoldierly foot-gear and appurtenances. Their leader (right) marches in profile to the right, a very short and fat butcher in over-sleeves wearing a feathered cocked hat above his butcher's cap, a military sash (from which hangs his steel) over an apron. He carries a banner on which St. George is killing the dragon. The front rank consists of (left to right): a cobbler wearing an apron, with the twisted shins known as cheese-cutters, and tattered stockings; a bricklayer, with thick gouty legs, a trowel thrust through his apron-string; an artist, his palette inscribed 'R.A', very thin and with a grotesquely thin neck; his toes project through a tattered boot of fashionable shape; a tailor with shears and tape-measure, a hairdresser with scissors and combs wearing a fashionable stock. On the left of this front rank a dwarfish drummer, an old campaigner with two wooden legs and one eye, beats his drum. Behind, the men recede in perspective, densely packed together."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Duchess of Gordon runs in profile to the left, pursuing a bull which gallops away, out of reach. She holds out a ribbon inscribed 'Matrimony', tied in a bow, in which she wishes to noose the bull. She is stout, florid, and handsome, with tartan draperies hanging from her hair and looped about her dress. A slim daughter (Lady Georgiana) runs beside and behind her, saying, "Run, Mither! - run! run! O how I long to lead the sweet bonny Creature in a string! run! Mither! run. run." The Duchess cries: "De'el hurst your weam, ye overgrown Fool, what are ye kicking at? - are we not ganging to lead ye to Graze on the banks o' the Tweed, & to make ye free o' the Mountains o the North? - Stop! - stop! ye silly Loon ye! stop!, stop, stop." The scene is a bare and slightly mountainous moor. In the middle distance three other daughters of the Duchess dance hand in hand: one is in back view, half of her petticoats removed to show breeches, inscribed 'Manchester Velvet', indicating that she is Susan, who married the Duke of Manchester in 1793, and that she dominates her husband (cf. BMSat 8983). One (right) has a broom thrust through her sash to indicate that she is Louisa, m. Viscount Brome, 17 Apr. 1797. Beside the third (left) dances a spaniel attached to her waist by a ribbon inscribed 'K. Charles Breed', showing that she is Charlotte, who married Col. Lennox, see BMSat 7594 (afterwards Duke of Richmond). The Duchess was renowned for her match-making, in acquiring three dukes and a marquis for four of her five ill-dowered daughters. See Wraxall, 'Memoirs', 1884, iii. 391 ff.; 'Corr. of Lord G. Leveson Gower', 1917, i. 68, 73, 76. The pursuit of the Duke of Bedford was not at first successful, but Lady Georgiana was believed to have been engaged to him shortly before his death in 1803 (ibid. i. 336-7), after which she married, as his second wife, his brother and heir, the 6th Duke."--British Museum online catalogue

Lord Jersey, dwarfish, shambling, and elderly, dressed in nightcap and night-shirt (on which is a 'J' with a coronet), stands by the door, holding a candle and pointing to the bed; he raises his night-cap deferentially to the Prince, who says, with contemptuous arrogance, 'va-t-en' (see BMSat 8809). The Prince walks on a fringed strip of carpet. On the open door behind Lord Jersey is 'A [torn] Map of the Road into the Harbour of Jer[sey]'; the islands of 'Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and [Je]rsey' are depicted, with a route leading to Jersey (cf. BMSat 8810)."--British Museum online catalogue
