"Whitelocke stands passively, directed to the left., with flexed knees while two little drummer-boys complete his humiliation. One (l.) stands on tip-toe to cut off his epaulet, while the other stands on a drum behind him, breaking his sword over his head. Sword-belt, scabbard, gorget, epaulet, regimental buttons, and gold lace lie on the ground, as does a music-book open at 'The Rogue March', with a fife lying across it, to indicate that he has been drummed out of the army. On the left. the Devil, half length, emerges from the ground, surrounded by fire and smoke; he offers Whitelocke a cocked pistol, saying, "Now fellow if thou hast a spark of courage left take this." Whitelocke answers: "Have you taken the flint out." See BMSat 10974, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (Nos. 12933-6). An imitation of No. 12927; the falling man lies on the ground, his foot (without a spur) gashes a lady's dress from waist to hem; the lady whom he clutches falls forward, kicking a man behind her. All the figures are altered in pose and character and two have been added. The two musicians are on a cloth-covered table, the violinist stands instead of sitting. In the centre of the back wall between two heavily draped windows is a large mirror above a console table with a jar of flowers. The round chandelier is decorated with dragons emitting flames of gas. There is a rolled up carpet (right) showing that the dancing is impromptu."--British Museum online catalogue

An oversized John Bull with a carbuncled-faced sits at a round table across from a very young looking William Betty and his father, both handsome and not caricatured. John Bull toasts the two, full wine glass in hand: "Youngster, heres to you I'm glad to see you in town. Old Master Roscius your health, and may you get such another boy every New Year's Day for the benifit [sic] of the English stage." Behind them pinned to the wall are two prints: the one a profile portrait of Mrs. Siddons, hangs from one corner only, and the other a portrait of J.P. Kemble. The three ostrich feathers on the back of Master Betty's chair may indicate the patronage of the Prince of Wales
