"The interior of a penny-barber's shop showing one corner of a small raftered room lit by a lamp hung from the roof and inscribed 'Shave with Ease & Expedetion for one Penny'. The barber (right) flourishes his razor above the head of a lean client whose face a boy (left) coats with lather, using a large brush; a bucket hangs on the boy's arm. In the background (right) a second customer in back view is also being shaved. Two wig-blocks lie on the ground (right)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"The interior of a sale-room lit by a candelabra hanging from the ceiling. The buyers and connoisseurs sit on the outer side of a line of trestle-tables arranged in the arc of a circle. Others stand behind them. In the centre sits the auctioneer Hutchins, stout and smiling, his hammer raised. The clerk (Judd) sits facing him in shadow, writing at a small table lit by two candles. Two attendants stand on the inner side of the trestles showing the lots. One (left) shows a large volume to a group of five, the centre figure being the spectacled Dr. Lort. On the walls of the room are framed pictures, including one of a reclining Venus. On the high chimney-piece are statuettes. The persons are portraits, slightly caricatured, and drawn with humour and expressiveness."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The royal party on board a vessel which, though the sail is inscribed 'Southampton Frigate', resembles a fishing-vessel. They are seated in the stern in the worst throes of sea-sickness: the King (centre), his hat tied on with a handkerchief, clasps his stomach. One of the princesses, holding a smelling-bottle, supports the Queen. The helmsman is impeded by a fat lady who drinks from a bottle. A princess (left) droops despairingly, another (right) appeals to Heaven for mercy. A sailor (left) carries off a bucket, holding his nose. Below the deck appear the heads of two beef-eaters, vomiting."--British Museum online catalogue.
