- Abstract:
- The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are among the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling Robert Cruikshank. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- Blackmantle stands with a trunk marked 'B.B.' at his feet as he gazes at the inscription scrawled on the ceiling of a bare and dilapidated room. An old college scout bows obsequiously, holding out a long paper headed 'A list of necessaries'. A hideous old bed-maker raises a cloud of dust with her broom. Two dandified men, one in cap and gown, stare in quizzically from outside the door (right). On the left is a pile of broken furniture, books, &c., with a box inscribed 'C. Rattle Esqr.'; a college cap is spiked on the leg of a broken chair with bellows (inscribed RC), Latin grammer, lexicon. A torn map of Oxford sags from the wall, with a print of a pugilist (Tom Cribb). A cupboard door is broken from its hinges; on it a target is painted, spattered with bullet marks. In the grate is a bust of Cicero, upside down

- Abstract:
- Mathews (left) gives a selection from his "Entertainments"; he stands behind his accustomed small draped table, which is lit by candles in place of the usual lamps. A pianist sits at the grand piano. The King stands as if making a speech: he is giving an imitation of John Kemble, evoked by Mathews's imitation thought by the King "too boisterous". On his right sits Marchioness of Conyngham, on his left Princess Augusta. Knighton stands behind the former. Five men (portraits) stand behind the royal settee: Liverpool, Wellington, and Hertford are recognizable. The room has an ornate cornice and Ionic pillars. Behind Mathews are two tall Chinese folding screens.-- See British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- The wide street, lit by a full moon, is filled by a wild fight between undergraduates and their supporters (for whom gowns had been obtained by looting a tailor's shop) and 'bargees, and the butchers, and labourers'. A stage-coach, Old Fly, crowded inside and out, is wedged in the crowd, the outside passengers are assailed by a man in a gown. A woman empties a pot from an upper window; a lantern, hats, &c., fly through the air."--British Museum catalogue
