"Probably an imitation of BMSat 9537, and a more effective rendering of the scene. Fox (left) and Sheridan (right) standing on the edge of the stage drag Hadfield, who holds out his pistol, by the shoulders across the spikes which divide the stage from the orchestra. Tierney stands (right) in profile to the left taking snuff. The words of all three are as in BMSat 9537. The background (absent in BMSat 9537) is formed of the curtain (right), through which peeps a face, and leafy scenery (left) from which an alarmed man advances. In the lower left corner is the music-book of one of the orchestra, open at 'God save the King'."--British Museum online catalogue
