"Bedroom scene. A young couple kiss while washing their feet in the same tub. A plump and smiling woman brings in a warming-pan and bowl of posset."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a different version of the top image and "The interior of the shop of an apothecary with a veterinary practice. A stout and agonized lady, whose horse looks through the door, raises her riding-habit to expose a bare posterior on which the kneeling apothecary is about to place a plaster; a jar of 'Diaculam' [sic] is beside him. The operation is watched by an assistant grinding his pestle in a mortar, by a woman, and by a cat seated on a stool. Coloured jars are in the window, canisters and druggist's china pots with spouts are ranged on shelves, with placards: 'Pills Rec tr drops &c' and 'Patent Horse Balls Ointment for the Itch'. A stuffed fish hangs from the roof."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a different version of the bottom image
