"A fat and ugly lady (left) and a young and pretty one (right) are being dressed for a Birthday at St. James's. A huge wig decked with feathers and roses is being placed by a maid on the bald head of the elder lady, who stands holding a bouquet and looking in a mirror which reflects a delighted grin. A little black page supports the mirror; he turns to a dog which fawns on him. Another maid fastens in front a false 'derrière', which will distend her dress below the waist, see BMSat 7100, &c. The girl is seated; a friseur dresses her long hair; a man-milliner, 'chapeau-bras', prepares to adjust a 'derrière'; she touches approvingly the dress which an ugly old woman wearing a hat holds out to her. On the floor is a round box containing roses."--British Museum online catalogue.

"French soldiers, who have just landed, are being bayoneted and ridden down by English troops. They flee in terror-stricken confusion. Among the Englishmen are yokels with pitchforks. Three Frenchmen, dead or painfully dying, lie in the foreground ; beside them is a drum. The scene is a grassy slope leading to the sea, where distant ships are in action and where four French troop-carrying rafts, cf. BMSat 9160, are foundering. Tiny figures flee into the sea (right)."--British Museum online catalogue.

A view of the interior of a busy English barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (left); beside her, one soldier brushes his britches while another adjusts his helmet. A second woman (center) carries a child on her back as she hands a drink to a soldier who sits on a bunk; a basket of rolls (?) hangs from her arm. A third woman (left) stands at a washing tub wringing out clothes as she looks up approvingly at a young boy dressed as a soldier; beside her a handsome, well-dressed solder holds a baby who smiles at the scene.

A view of the interior of a busy French barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (right) as another child plays at her feet. Beside her another woman holds up a mirror so that an officer can admire his reflection from both the front and back. A third woman (left) cuts an officers toe nails as a barber dresses his long queue; another officer has his hair powdered. In the background a man in his night shirt sits on the side of his bed as he stretches his arms and yawns.

"A horse-race, three horses gallop (right to left), one a neck behind the other; the horse in the foreground is the last, his legs are shackled by a buckled Garter ribbon inscribed 'Honi soit qui mal'. The jockey rides with his whip in his mouth, he is pulling the horse and looks out of the corners of his eyes at the Prince of Wales. The Prince, in riding-dress, stands (right) looking slyly at the spectator, his left forefinger to his nose, his right hand pointing towards the jockey. Behind (right) are dismayed and enraged spectators, on foot and on horseback."--British Museum online catalogue.
