"Fourteen small children amuse themselves uproariously in a small space. Four little girls in party-dresses, dance holding hands round a lady who tosses an infant; two of them hold up dolls. A fat and grinning cook stands in the doorway with a tray of jelly-glasses, cake, and fruit. The biggest boy rides a rocking-horse, giving a view-hallo; another boy with an overturned chair for horses, drives in a professional manner a high-slung rectangular cradle (left) in which sits a little girl holding a doll and an open umbrella. A little boy with a wooden sword tries to storm a table, defended by two others, with drum, trumpet, and Union Jack. These children are dressed up to suit their parts. In the foreground (right) two children build a card-house on the floor, with skipping-rope, toy soldiers, and horse and cart beside them. On the left are a top and whip, and an Eaton Latin Grammar. On the wall is pinned a caricature of Dr Syntax [see BM Satires 11507, &c] with birch-rod and book."--British Museum online catalogue

"A front elevation of a theatre-box crammed with delighted children fills the design. In the front row are a lady and four little girls. In the middle sits the father, one small boy on his knee, an arm round another child. Eight more children fill the box. Behind them a lady chooses fruit from an old woman's basket. Two men stand behind. Over the front of the box hangs a playbill: During the Xmas Holidays--Pantomime of Harliquin--Clown by Mr G [Grimaldi]."--British Museum online catalogue

"'General' [See BM Satires 15162], with the same jockey beside him, stands dejectedly, while a second horse (left), held by a jockey who says I'm the Boy for a make weight, is having weights shackled to his fore-feet: one inscribed 12.00, the other 200. The man doing this smiles slyly, saying, There! now I have him as secure as the Hampshire Hog in the Pound. Three betting men stand together. One looks over his shoulder to say: That will do the Thing! I'll bet the Craven Stakes to leg-Alley! A fat man says to the third: I'll bet you 1200 to 200! The other leans forward insinuatingly: Come I say shew your Spice make it Thousands. The former answers: No, No, I dont want to be done up. A man on horseback, looking towards the second horse, says: Aye, Aye Squirrel against Panic now for 300 Gs."--British Museum online catalogue
