"Troops, crowded in carts, &c, approach Portsmouth, where distant ships are at anchor. In the foreground are country carts drawn by soldiers at a gallop. Other soldiers are in and on a coach, the 'Portsmouth Fly'; a drum and fife are being played on the roof; large flags float from the windows. This is followed by officers in a perch phaeton. Young women take leave of soldiers. A drummer gallops on a donkey with a young bandsman in each pannier. In the middle distance, besides other vehicles, are two of the new four-horsed conveyances for soldiers, who sit as in an Irish jaunting-car, see BMSat 9238. In the foreground (right) is the corner of a small thatched ale-house, 'The Jolly Soldier'. An old soldier with a wooden leg sits fiddling at the door, while the host and his family wave farewell."--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 British sailor, firmly planted astride the globe, is severely punishing Bonaparte, who, with one knee precariously on 'Turk[ey]' (Egypt), is about to fall backwards into space. Bonaparte wears a huge cocked hat, is naked from the waist, but wears sleeve-ruffles, according to the old gibe on the beggarly French fop. He is much emaciated, and gashed with wounds; 'Nelson' is inscribed on his solar plexus. Blood gushes from his nose. Jack Tar's right leg stretches across central Europe, the toe supported on 'Malta'. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogue.
