"A man, grossly fat, short, and almost spherical, tries to step from the pavement into a cab, against the passenger's seat of which leans a tasselled cane. The ragged driver, seated beside the empty hooded seat, leans towards the fat man, whipping up his horse and saying, 'If your Legs ant long enough to get into this here Wehicle I wont drive you at all--you little Stump'. The other shouts: 'Stop that fellow he has got my Stick'. The 'Stump' is followed from a shop by a man clasping a large live turtle; in the shop-window are the words 'Real & Mock Turtle'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Prince Leopold (right), in uniform, puts his head through a glassless aperture in a window in the door of his 'Grecian Establish[ment]--Co[burg]', to look intently at a fat Turk who stands in profile to the right, elaborately dressed and holding a long pipe with smoking bowl. The door, partly cut off by the right margin, is flanked by a Corinthian pillar and set in a wall on which are placards: 'This .
