"Scene on the steps of a London club. A Life Guards officer with moustache and whiskers stares at two exotic-looking civilians who appear arm-in-arm, walking (right to left) along the pavement, both moustached and with whiskers of incredible length and luxuriance. These are worn with wide turn-down collars, one with a loosely knotted tie, the other with his tie passed through a ring, a contrast with the tightly curled whiskers and high stock of the officer. A Guards officer in a high bearskin, without moustache but with bushier whiskers than those of the cavalry officer, stands on the steps, stretching and yawning, his back to the whiskered civilians. Through the open sash-windows two whiskered civilians are seen, one raises a side of his collar, to which the whiskers seem to be attached; the other pompously caresses an immense whisker. A man of French appearance, whiskered and moustached, standing on the steps, gapes at the two pedestrians, whose whiskers have something of the lion's mane. This is stressed by a poster behind them headed by a picture of a lion: Nero is to be Seen . . . On a second poster is a bear: Bears' Grease for the Growth of Whiskers. Two bees make for the tawny whiskers of the taller pedestrian, who holds a riding-whip and is followed by a poodle with shaggy ears and shoulders. A woman in a bonnet and shawl (right) gapes in amazement. A little chimney-sweeper laughs."--British Museum online catalogue

The wide street, lit by a full moon, is filled by a wild fight between undergraduates and their supporters (for whom gowns had been obtained by looting a tailor's shop) and 'bargees, and the butchers, and labourers'. A stage-coach, Old Fly, crowded inside and out, is wedged in the crowd, the outside passengers are assailed by a man in a gown. A woman empties a pot from an upper window; a lantern, hats, &c., fly through the air."--British Museum catalogue

Portrait of an elderly man in profile facing to the right and gazing sternly through his spectacles. In his hand he holds a sheaf of papers; another stack of papers fill the pocket of his coat. He stands on boards, perhaps a platform. He is identified in the British Museum catalogue as the merchant Robert Pulsford who died ca. 1835; he and his brother were merchants at 7 Great St. Helens
