"Seven enormously fat and brawny Irishwomen approach (right to left) the quayside at Billingsgate, below which are fishing-smacks. All carry baskets on their heads, two smoke pipes. An eighth woman, also smoking, sits on a low stool on the extreme left, with cod and lobsters spread out for sale. In the background (right) an open pent-house attached to the large houses flanking the dock is filled by tiny figures with baskets of fish; a man ascends a ladder towards it from the water with a basket on his head. One of the pent-house stalls is placarded 'Salt Cod Bar . . Ling Pilcha[rds]'. In the background larger vessels lie at anchor against buildings on the south side of the Thames."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A scene between decks, evidently in an East Indiaman. A hammock stretches across the upper part of the design; from it a sailor looks down grinning at a buxom young woman who is being 'rigged out' by a sailor seated on a tea-chest. She wears chemise and petticoat, inscribed 'Gum Elastic', with two huge pockets inscribed 'Japan Old China' and 'Tea', a cask of 'coniac' and a canister are tied to her waist, and a bottle of 'Otto or [sic] Roses' is between her breasts. Her hat and gown hang from a nail (right). She puts her hand amorously on the smiling sailor's head. Another sailor sits behind him, smoking and drinking. There are chests of 'Souchon' and 'Congo' tea, and bottles of 'arrack'. A fiddle hangs from the wall."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Students draw from a nude female model by artificial light. She stands on a low polygonal platform, gracefully posed, her raised right arm supported on a rope slung from the roof, underneath a large round reflector under which a lamp burns. Beside her is a bottle and glass. Behind the platform is a large closed stove and a high screen. The students sit on two rows of seats arranged in a horse-shoe, the second row raised above the first, resting their drawing-boards on a rail. Lamps or candles with reflectors are attached to this rail at intervals. One man (left) paints standing at a painting-table; he wears apron and oversleeves; behind him stands a man inspecting the model through a glass. Almost all the students wear powdered hair with side-curls and small pigtails; many are elderly. The room is handsome; the walls are covered with casts from the antique: busts on a shelf near the ceiling with bas-reliefs below. The drawing is realistic, the heads of the students slightly caricatured."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two figures in a pleasant undulating landscape with trees.

"Villagers play quoits outside a gabled, thatched, and dilapidated inn, the sign: 'Asses Milk sold here' and 'Dirty Dick'. The quoits lie round a peg in the right foreground watched by a bull-dog. One man is about to throw. There is norie of the rustic prosperity and gaiety of other plates in the series. The players are in their working-clothes, some with aprons. A fat butcher drains a tankard (right) spilling its contents, and watched with anger by a lean man. A grossly fat woman with a donkey flirts shamelessly with two men, one a crippled beggar, while the animal eats from the fruit in a pannier on its back. A half-naked termagant leans over a paling to beat a bystander with her broom; behind her is a notice: 'Washing and mangling done here'. A woman carrying an infant angrily tries to drag away an absorbed spectator. In the background villagers drink and embrace, and a thin man rides a kicking donkey. A view of the grosser side of rural life, with the suggestion that these are the village wastrels."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A pretty young woman swings high above the heads of the spectators, seated on a rope hung between two tall trees. A similar girl, and a young man who embraces her, pull at a rope which works the swing. An elderly parson of Syntax type (see British Museum Satires no. 11507, &c.), smoking and drinking on a bench, looks up delightedly at the girl's legs. Another, fat and humpbacked, flirts with a fat elderly woman. Three elderly farmers rush from the right to watch the display of legs, one waving a pipe and punch-bowl. A fat woman tugs angrily at the pigtail of one of them, kicking him behind; an elderly virago threatens them with her fist."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Three sailors ride away from the sea-shore (right) where a man-of-war is at anchor. All are in difficulties. A fourth is on his hands and knees on the extreme left; he looks up to say: "Mind what you are at Messmates for I am upset, and the frigate I came on board of--has been under weigh, without me this half hour." The foremost, clasping his rearing horse round the neck, looks back to say: "Keep more to the Star-board and be D--d, to you--dont you see how you make my vessel, run a head." The next man is tied to his galloping mount with heavy ropes; and he says: "Here I come my Hearty's --Right and tight,--smart sailing, but never mind that--I cant be cast away for my commander, Heavens bless him has lash'd me to the deck, with some tough Old Cables!" The last sailor's horse kicks with tail erect; he exclaims: "D--n me--how she heaves. Why this is worse than a Jolly Boat, in the Bay of Biscay. and what a D--d noise she makes in her poop--Signals for sailing I suppose"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"Scene in the vaulted ante-room of a dungeon. The turnkey, keys in hand, accepts with wary enjoyment the blandishments of a pretty young woman, whose interest is clearly in the fate of a handsome youth seen through the bars above a padlocked barrier on the right. A grotesquely obese and misshapen man (right) approaches the turnkey with a jug and frothing glass. Behind the latter (left) is a table with a shoulder of mutton and a small cask. A cat plays amicably with a dog. Heavy fetters hang from the walls, and there is a heavily barred door; a vaulted recess leads to a second dungeon. The place is lit by hanging lamps."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A scene on Clerkenwell Green, outside the 'Sessions House Crerenwell' [sic], whose door is on the extreme left. Two termagants face each other in the foreground; one spits at her enemy, arms akimbo, the other tries to use her fists but is held back by an elderly man who grasps her round the waist and kicks her, losing his tie-wig. The former woman is fashionably, the latter roughly, dressed. Both have coarse faces with a certain comeliness. In the background constables with staves are shepherding women through the door of the Sessions House, where the Middlesex magistrates sat. Other constables and women are suggested behind the 'Spit Fires'. On the right are old-fashioned gabled houses."--British Museum online catalogue.
