Abstract:
"Two burly women, almost naked above the waist, fight vigorously, surrounded by a yelling crowd. The scene is an irregular space surrounded by old-fashioned houses, and crowded with spectators, eager or disgusted. In the foreground (left) an apple-woman's barrow is upset and she sprawls across it to grab the head of a little boy who is collecting apples. Among the crowd are a porter carrying a trunk on his knot, and a woman with a basket of vegetables on her head. Adjacent houses have inscriptions: 'British Gin', 'Licensed Lottery Office Tickets Shares', and (with the sign of three balls) 'Mony Lent on Pledges Gripp Licensed Pawn Brokers'."--British Museum online catalogue

The collision of several coaches results in a scene of mayhem on a city street as the coachmen brandish their whips, much to the horror of their well-dressed passengers. As a result of the collisions, two vendors and their wares are thrown on a third vendor, all tumbling onto the sidewalk in front of the corner shop "Peter Thump Gold Beater". A workman carrying bricks up a ladder is also in peril. Gold beaters in the corner shop look on while continuing their work. On the right two dancing dogs continue their performance

Abstract:
From her bed with bed curtains, an ill-looking woman with an imploring look on her face from her bed reaches for her nurse who is asleep in an armchair with her back to her patient and her feet on a cushion. She is very fat and coarse looking as she sits in front of a fire. The candle stick has fallen from the table and lies unobserved smoking on the floor at her feet, the snuffer also on the floor beside a cat who grabs the food from a plate that has also fallen to the floor. The table by the nurse's elbow holds medicine bottles as well as dishware. More medicine bottles are on the mantel and at her feet. A pot warms over the fire
