"Heading to A New Song, Written & now Singing by Mr Briant, of the Royal Coburg Theatre, and likewise by Mr Lancaster at the Olympic Theatre, with rapturous applause. The interior of a watch-house. A night-watchman pushes a countryman towards a door leading to 'the black hole', another stands by with lantern and bludgeon, a third looks on, laughing, while a dim parasite holds the door open. The constable of the night (see No. 14326, &c), fat and jovial, sits in a hooded chair behind a table on which are candle, frothing tankard, book, ink-pot, &c. Looby relates, in eight eight-line verses, how he is cheated and ill-used: 'And All for Life in London --' (see No. 14320, &c). Verse 6 begins: Says I--I've Toms and Jerry's seen Throughout this famous city But Lord they make themselves such apes I think it bees a pity ... The music of the air is engraved below the verses. 22 March 1822. Hand-coloured aquatint and etching, heading to letterpress ballad."--British Museum online catalogue

"A Lapp settlement fills one end of an oblong hall, lit from the roof. Ice or water is bordered by snow-covered mountains or ice-pinnacles painted on the walls. In front of the water are two tents or huts, partly hidden by spectators. In the foreground is a Lapp family, a child holds a cord attached to a high-stepping reindeer decked with ribbons which draws a sledge in which sits a little English boy, holding the reins and held up by a lady. On the left behind a railing are reindeer; spectators are crowded between them and the wall. A woman holds one by the antlers, and raises two fingers towards an elderly husband. Spectators stare, ogle, and flirt. On the walls are reindeer antlers, Lapp garments of fur, &c, low boots with up-turned toes."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fog-bound pedestrians collide or fall over objects, on an open road on the outskirts of London. A man falls over a milestone inscribed 1 Mi . . An old woman hurls herself against a post. A man driving a fashionable gig lashes his horse, which a man with a link tries to drag forward. A link-boy walks before a fashionably dressed man. Two birds have collided and are falling; two dogs rush towards each other. A dim sun is the centre of a faint halo.
