Abstract:
"A slim young man, fashionably dressed, stands chapeau-bras, with clasped hands, facing a gouty invalid; he says: "Stand at ease". The invalid, wearing a night-cap, sits in an armchair, his swathed and gouty legs on a stool, his hands and fore-arms also covered with wrappings. He answers, his face distorted with pain, "Yes - its very fine talking - but if you had such a Confounded Gout, as I have young man You'd find it d----d difficult to sit at ease"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A magician stands full face with uplifted sabre held over the heads of two figures from the past whom he has called up, and who stand within a magic circle. He displays them to their modern descendants, a tall stout Frenchman plainly dressed, wearing cocked hat and military boots, who stands with his arm on the shoulder of a thin, wretched, shambling, Englishman, small, ugly, and foppish, his hand thrust through an empty pocket. The magician has a beard, but features, cocked hat, consular dress, and sabre indicate Napoleon. He asks: "Are you satisfied Gentlemen?" The apparitions (left) are a grossly obese Englishman in old-fashioned dress, a cane hanging from his right wrist, and an ugly, tall, cadaverous, and foppish Frenchman holding a snuffbox. They say, respectively: "Is that my Grandson Jack? what a skeleton!!!"; "Ah mon Cousin, vat you eat de Beef & Plum Pudding!!" Their surprised successors exclaim: "Bless me! why I am a mere Stump of a man to him!!! and viable my Cousin look like de Frog & John Bull look like de Ox but Grace a Dieu times are Changed!!" Beside the magician are symbols of his art: a globe, a crocodile, a scroll, a skull. Within the circle and beside the French apparition is a frog."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two sailors ride (left to right) bare-back on two galloping horses, one half a length behind. The horses are rough and clumsy, with blinkers and horse-collars. One sailor (left), whose hat flies off, shouts to the other: "Hollo' you Swab, lay too a bit, can't you: I've lost part of my upper rightigging, - and the Vessel's firing signal guns of distress. - have you lost your hearing." The other says: "If the lubber had not stood to it: they were both Ponies, I should have taken mine for a Cart Horse, - by the bumping in the Stern"."--British Museum online catalogue
