Abstract:
An obese sergeant with a pike in his left hand stands in front of two lines of soldiers, their bayonetted muskets shouldered. He is watching a pretty young girl holding out a dish that an elderly woman sitting on the ground fills with cherries she weighs in a scale. Another girl, a young child, and an elderly soldier watch her intently. To the right of this group, a woman and a man, both on horseback, drink from cups handed them on a tray by a little boy. On the left, behind the sergeant, a small drummer boy and another boy playing flute are taunted by another small boy. Near them, an officer salutes with his left hand the line of soldiers. Behind that group, an elderly man watches the proceedings in front of him through his lorgnon, while a little boy who accompanies him, immitates the soldiers by shouldering a walking stick. A large dog stretches as if woken up from a slumber

Abstract:
"Elderly men sit and stand, all smoking long pipes; large clouds of smoke issue from their mouths, but little or nothing comes from the bowls of their pipes. Most sit or stand silently morose; two standing men (left) appear to be puffing smoke in each other's faces. One leans back, apparently asleep, but smoking. An ugly man seated on the extreme right takes the hand of a pretty young woman who stands opposite him; he holds a large key. She slips a note into the hand of a fierce-looking military officer who stands with his back to her. On the wall (right) is a placard: 'At a general meeting of this Society, it was resolv'd by a Majority of Independent members, that any member may be Indulg'd with having the Key brought him, by his Servant or hand-maid, but on no pretence whatever be followd by that bane of good fellowship calld the White Sergeant.' Above the door are framed Rules: 'Ist No Gemman to be a member of this Society who cannot smoke three pipes at one sitting - NB no Spitting 2d No members pipe to be more than 14 Inches nor less than nine unless permitted so to do by the Landlady 3d Every member to find his own Stopper 4th Any member who puffs designedly in the face of another, to be find sixpence or be puff'd at in return by the whole company 5th All fines to be spent in Porter T. Twig Secy' On the back wall is a large print of Sir Walter Raleigh seated smoking (right) while a servant raises a bucket to fling at the smoke."--British Museum online catalogue
