Abstract:
"A number of men seated round a circular table over the wine manifesting sleepiness or exhaustion in different ways, while an officer in regimentals harangues them on some campaign. He sits over the table, in profile to the right, gesticulating with outstretched arms over a plan drawn on the table-cloth. Two overturned wine-glasses lie in front of him, two empty bottles stand on the table. On the farther side of the table a man stands up, stretching and yawning violently. His neighbour on his right also yawns; the man on his left supports his head on his hands, scowling at the speaker through half-closed eyes. Next him (right) a man in profile to the left holding a wine-glass yawns widely. Two others in profile to the right are asleep in attitudes of extreme weariness. A very fat man, sitting on the left. I turned away from the table, with outstretched legs in top-boots, yawns violently. From the right enters a servant with tousled hair, wearing a striped jersey; he is bringing in a boot-jack and pair of slippers, he too is yawning violently. In the foreground are two dogs."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Ladies and gentlemen seated in a semicircle, while a footman holds a circular tray on which are tea-cups, &c. In the foreground a man sits (centre) his bag-wig hanging over the back of his chair facing the semicircle. On the extreme left a man sits stiffly, hat under his right arm, tea-cup in his left hand; next is an elderly and ugly woman, holding a fan; then a stout man seated uncomfortably on the edge of his chair. Then a lean and ugly old woman sitting very upright, with a fan. In the centre of the circle, full face, holding a tea-cup in both hands and looking downwards, is a lady with enormously wide petticoats, who appears to be the hostess. Next stands the footman, who is glaring with scorn at a French manservant who stands behind the guests on the left holding a plate of bread and butter. The remaining guests are in a group on the right. A stout and ugly man, in profile to the left, stretches out his hand, either in gesticulation, or to take a cup of tea from the tray. Next him is a plainly dressed man with an enormous wig who is laughing and looking through a single eye-glass. These two are the only guests who show the slightest animation, the others sitting rigidly silent. On the extreme right sits a young lady of pleasing appearance, in profile to the left, looking down demurely at her fan. Behind her (right) appears the head of a good-looking young man, whose arm rests on the back of her chair. Two oval pictures are indicated on the back wall the room."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Holiday-seekers driving and walking along a high-road with a margin of grass, evidently the Sunday crowd of 'cits' so often described in contemporary satire. The chief group is a high phaeton of fashionable shape, but attached to two miserable hacks, who refuse to move, though they are being dragged at the head by a man with a long whip. The driver, who wears a looped hat and top-boots, kneels in the phaeton leaning forward over the horses and raising his (broken) whip with an expression of fury. His companions are two ladies of pleasure who sit one on each side of him. The one on his right holds up the top of the broken whip, its lash streaming behind her. The other, smiling, holds his left arm as if to prevent his falling from the carriage in his excitement. On the panel of the phaeton are the initials "ON". This carriage-full has just been passed on the right by a fashionably dressed man driving (right to left) a high-stepping horse in one of the new high two-wheeled gigs, see British Museum Satires Nos. 5933, 6146. He looks round at them laughing. Behind (right) is a hackney coach (number 251) driving from left to right, the horse being cut off by the margin of the print. A woman seated on the box holds the rein. Through the window over the door (it has no side windows) is seen a man seated with his back to the horse. A man sits on the roof looking through a telescope. Riding in the same direction (left to right) on the off-side of the hackney coach are an elderly man on a long-tailed cob or pony and a pretty young lady on a white horse. A spaniel runs behind them. In the foreground are pedestrians. A man stands in back view, legs apart, gazing at the stationary phaeton. On the extreme left a dejected-looking man and his wife walk wearily along. He wears a handkerchief tied round his head, under his hat, she holds his wig in her left hand, her right hand rests on the small of his back. He is carrying his stick in one hand, in the other a large bouquet of flowers in a paper sheath. Two dogs approach each other. Behind the two pedestrians, a man on horseback is in difficulties, his reins are slack and he holds the mane of the horse, which appears to be about to advance across the road in front of the advancing gig. In the background is a park-paling with trees showing above it."--British Museum online catalogue
