"The Duc d'Orleans (left) chases the Prince of Wales with a whip. Both wear riding-dress with top-boots. Behind them is a pond from which emerge the legs of a man who is submerged from the waist. They are on a path leading to a pavilion (right), the door of which is inscribed 'The Coffee Room'. Men stand at the door watching the scene, others look from a balcony. Behind Orleans, on the extreme left, are the profile and arms of a Frenchman, who says, "ah ha de French Man make de English run". Beneath the title is etched: 'L'abbé frere du Duc d'Orleans etant a Newmarket dans un jardin près dun bassin fit la Gageure avec S.A.R.P.G.

"A rough-looking woman, stout, tall and muscular, with loose hair blown by the wind, stands in a dinghy, holding an oar, inscribed 'Moll Muggins Billingsgate', to punt or paddle her craft. One foot is on the gunwale, and her pose, looking up and to the left, travesties the lines below the title: "The Maiden paus'd, as if again, She thought to catch the distant strain, With head uprais'd and look intent, And eye and ear attentive bent, And locks flung back, and lips apart, Like monument of Grecian art" 'Walter Scott's Poem'. A bottle inscribed 'Mack . . .' and a short clay pipe project from a pocket. In the background (right) is a man in a similar boat with a basket of fish.
