Abstract:
"Villagers play quoits outside a gabled, thatched, and dilapidated inn, the sign: 'Asses Milk sold here' and 'Dirty Dick'. The quoits lie round a peg in the right foreground watched by a bull-dog. One man is about to throw. There is norie of the rustic prosperity and gaiety of other plates in the series. The players are in their working-clothes, some with aprons. A fat butcher drains a tankard (right) spilling its contents, and watched with anger by a lean man. A grossly fat woman with a donkey flirts shamelessly with two men, one a crippled beggar, while the animal eats from the fruit in a pannier on its back. A half-naked termagant leans over a paling to beat a bystander with her broom; behind her is a notice: 'Washing and mangling done here'. A woman carrying an infant angrily tries to drag away an absorbed spectator. In the background villagers drink and embrace, and a thin man rides a kicking donkey. A view of the grosser side of rural life, with the suggestion that these are the village wastrels."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

Abstract:
"A pretty young woman swings high above the heads of the spectators, seated on a rope hung between two tall trees. A similar girl, and a young man who embraces her, pull at a rope which works the swing. An elderly parson of Syntax type (see British Museum Satires no. 11507, &c.), smoking and drinking on a bench, looks up delightedly at the girl's legs. Another, fat and humpbacked, flirts with a fat elderly woman. Three elderly farmers rush from the right to watch the display of legs, one waving a pipe and punch-bowl. A fat woman tugs angrily at the pigtail of one of them, kicking him behind; an elderly virago threatens them with her fist."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The stage or platform is surrounded by a dense crowd, some three rows of which form the foreground of the design. Cribb, who has cuts on the face, strikes Molineux on the throat and he falls backwards, to the dismay of his second, also a negro, and another supporter. On the right Cribb's second and bottle-holder register satisfaction. The crowd is wildly enthusiastic, and drawn with humorous realism. Some men on horseback are among the spectators immediately surrounding the stage, as are one or two carriages. Two pickpockets, a man and woman, work together in the foreground; two men are fighting. A few women are among the crowd, one astride a man's shoulders (right). The crowd and the stage which it surrounds fills the greater part of the design. There is a pleasant landscape background. On a road is a long line of tiny carriages and men on horseback, with one farm-wagon."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Three women fall from a gig, which has fallen backwards, the shafts broken under a heavy load. A fat man, losing hat and wig, holds the head of the kicking horse, at which a dog leaps fiercely. The women are his very fat wife and two comely daughters dressed for an outing; a parasol, bottle, and bundle in a knotted handkerchief lie beside them. The scene is a rough track over a heath. In the air is a balloon much tilted, a man and two flags are in the basket. A woman descends by parachute, surrounded by a flock of birds, with much display of leg, and a man watches her through a telescope from a high round tower which rises above a group of trees in the background (right)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A crowd watches three country girls who race (left to right) barefoot and lightly clad; a dog has tripped up a fourth. A dog runs too, with some object tied to its tail. Many of the crowd are in violent action, fighting or falling. Spectators watch from a wagon into which a very fat woman is being hoisted. Others fall from a bench (right), near which are a man on stilts with a fiddle on his back, and another blowing a coach-horn. A horse driven by a would-be fashionable in a gig plunges into the crowd, and the driver is fiercely assailed by two mounted men. In the background, on a ridge, are a few small tents with banners and spectators, indicating a village fair. Farther off (right) is a church with a double spire."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three sailors ride away from the sea-shore (right) where a man-of-war is at anchor. All are in difficulties.
