"George IV sits fishing under a little pavilion; his rod is a sceptre, larger than that in Britis Museum Satires No. 15126. He has hooked a frog, which Lady Conyngham, kneeling beside him, is about to scoop with a landing-net. She says: Oh what a beautifull fish! I think its something of the Gudgeon kind, but a most Noble one. A large kingfisher stands on the opposite bank watching them. The King sits on an ornate stool, resting a gouty leg on a smaller one. He wears a bell-shaped top-hat, the plain high-collared coat of recent portraits with knee-breeches. Beside him are creel and bait-box. The pavilion is merely an ornate canopy for his stool, decorated with onion domes like that of the Pavilion, bells, and a crown. Lady Conyngham wears a décolletée dress with long gloves, and roses in her hair. Behind is a realistic view of the Cottage, with a peacock in front of it, and Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

A "find lady" presumably an anonym of the period, finds herself in the fastness of a spunging house; she is made as welcome as circumstances will permit; a bottle of wine, the refreshment customary, is ordered, and the stern hearts of the sheriff's men are appealed to, while bail is sent for. It was a well-known practice at the beginning of the century, and earlier, to pay some obscure individual a trifling fee to become security on emergencies. Similar fictitious householders were always in attendance, and producible from the bar-rooms in the neighborhood. In the present case a professional limb, of the Hebrew persuasion, is presented, decently made up for the occasion, to tender himself as bondsman for the lady's due appearance. It is evident, however, that a suspicious recognition is taking place; 'Harry Holdfast, Officer of the Four Counties,' or his deputy, does not, judging from his expression, seem to approve of the surety, and the Jew looks somewhat disconcerted under his inspection. The tears of the unfortunate captive, and the plausible reassurance--as to the respectability of the bail offered--of her chaperone, or duenna, are powerless to move the stoic breast of the experienced catchpole

"A number of men seated round a circular table over the wine manifesting sleepiness or exhaustion in different ways, while an officer in regimentals harangues them on some campaign. He sits over the table, in profile to the right, gesticulating with outstretched arms over a plan drawn on the table-cloth. Two overturned wine-glasses lie in front of him, two empty bottles stand on the table. On the farther side of the table a man stands up, stretching and yawning violently. His neighbour on his right also yawns; the man on his left supports his head on his hands, scowling at the speaker through half-closed eyes. Next him (right) a man in profile to the left holding a wine-glass yawns widely. Two others in profile to the right are asleep in attitudes of extreme weariness. A very fat man, sitting on the left. I turned away from the table, with outstretched legs in top-boots, yawns violently. From the right enters a servant with tousled hair, wearing a striped jersey; he is bringing in a boot-jack and pair of slippers, he too is yawning violently. In the foreground are two dogs."--British Museum online catalogue
