"Mrs. Clarke and four other women stoop down and directs blasts from large posteriors, defined by tight dresses, against the sails of a windmill (right) which pivot upon the head of the Duke of York. The four sails are inscribed respectively, Army, State, Navy, Church. The mill, on a low hill to which a winding path ascends, is Commission Warehouse. The names of the five meretricious-looking women are inscribed on their posteriors. One clutching a tree, on the extreme left, and advantageously placed on a hillock, is Carey. She says: If this wont raise the Wind, I do not know what will, This is not the first time I have employed my bottom to raise the Wind. The other four are close together: Cressaid, Sutherland, Cook, and Clarke, who says: Aye and no bad way to raise an Army-also. Between the women and the mill stands a dismayed little man with arms extended; he says: O ho this will not bring Grist to my Mill I must put a stop to this; and remove this Mill to Charing Cross."--British Museum online catalogue

"An elderly man, his profile caricatured, dressed as a military officer, inspects through a glass a fat man and boy (left), both Dutch, wearing baggy breeches and sabots, who lean against a rail, the man smoking a pipe. A pretty young woman, wearing a high-waisted travelling dress and small hat, takes the officer's arm; her left hand is in a large muff. Behind are the masts of a vessel backed by chalk cliffs, showing that the rail edges a small creek or harbour; on the right are a beam and pulley."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Clarke (left), more of a siren than in authentic portraits, sits indecorously on a sofa, while the Duke, with eyes tipsily closed, reclines against her, seated on the floor. She holds scissors and the Duke's long pigtail, which she has cut off and displays to two men who approach from the r., a military officer, probably Wardle, who puts his finger slyly to his nose, and a good-looking young civilian (? Folkestone). She says: "Gentlemen you may now take him with safety, his strength is gone, I have cut off his regulation tail, and there is no danger"."--British Museum online catalogue
