"Sir Charles Bunbury, a stout, elderly, plainly dressed man, walks in profile to the left, staring with fierce concentration, one hand on his heart, the other deep in his breeches pocket. He steps on a loose flag-stone from which a fountain of mud splashes over his stockings. The background is a stone wall; down it runs a pipe from which a muddy stream gushes on to the pavement. A sign-post points 'To Sthephens Chaple'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A rider flings his arms above his head in terror as his horse plunges head first into a deep pool, making a gigantic splash. A horse immediately behind him (left) rears, and its rider also throws up his arms terror-struck. On the farther side of the water (right), and in the background, a huntsman stands holding out the fox by the tail to the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A tall pillar, supporting an allegorical design of Britannia and covered with figures and objects in high relief, stands upon a rock in a stormy sea, waves dashing against it. The square base is supported by figures of Fortitude, with a lion, her left hand on a broken pillar, and Justice, with an ostrich, her scales not balanced. Between them is inscribed: 'To Perpetuate the Destruction of the Regicide Navy of France, and the Triumph of the British Flag'. It rests on two slabs of stones inscribed with the names of admirals: (below) 'Howe', 'Parker', 'Nelson', 'St Vincent', 'Bridport'; (above) 'Duncan', 'Gardiner', 'Keith', 'Hood'. On the summit tritons blowing horns support a shell in which stands Britannia with shield and trident. In her right hand stands a tiny figure of Victory. Beside her an angry lion grasps a globe showing the British Isles and 'le Mer'. The capital of the pillar is formed by the feathers in the hats of republican soldiers who dangle from it, still holding blood-stained daggers. Other objects on the pillar are a sailor wearing wooden shoes, broken weapons and nautical instruments, a tricolour flag inscribed 'Egalité' with a broken shaft, a small decapitated figure of 'Libertas', holding up a bonnet-rouge. On the horizon (left) is a fort; above are dark clouds from which issue many flashes of lightning. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"One of a set of four hunting-scenes with punning titles, with the same signatures and imprint; they have pleasant landscape backgrounds, with clouds. A rider (left) has been flung over his horse's head and lies on his face screaming; the horse falls into a deep ditch edged by a fence (right). From one pocket spout the contents of a bottle of wine, from the other two hounds are tugging a cold chicken, other hounds are making with fierce intentness towards the chicken. A second rider just behind the fence pulls up his horse in alarm, a third in the background leaps over fence and ditch. See BMSats 9589-91; cf. BMSat 9592, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.
