"Eight puzzle-pictures arranged in two rows, in general of a punning character, e.g., 'Specimens of Poetry', 'A' lying across two walking-sticks (acrostics). The first, however, 'An Obstruction to Peace', is the collar and shoulders of a coat, the blue with red facings of the Windsor uniform, together with the title, indicating the King (or perhaps Pitt), with perhaps the implication that he lacks a head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
At the Gate of Calais, a fat monk is shown poking a very large side of beef carried by a thin cook; the label indicates that the beef is intended "For Madm Grandsire at Calais." On either side are two French soldiers, one of whom spills his bowl of thin soup as he gazes in amazement at the beef. In the foreground on the left, three market women with crosses hanging from their necks admire a skate in a basket of fish; on the right, two ragged men carry a large pot of soup while another drinks from a bowl, and a Scottish soldier cowers beneath an archway; in the middle distance, to left, Hogarth himself is seen sketching at the moment when a soldier's hand takes him by the shoulder; beyond, through the gate, is a religious procession

Manuscript, in a single hand, of twelve letters written during a tour of London and addressed to "dear Elvira." In the letters, the author (Mrs. Percivall or Percival?) describes the social sights of London, including parties and dinners she attends, music she hears, and nobility she sees, including a masquerade at Somerset House where her friend dresses up as an Indian princess; a dinner which the Queen gave to the Ambassador; a military show by soldiers in Hyde Park; and, at the end of the volume, a masquerade ball in which she meets "a very agreeable gentleman." In addition, "being almost smothered with the thick air of London," she and her acquaintances take a trip into the country, where they visit Hatfield and attend a concert of music hosted by Italian marquis, where "there was an eunuch who sang." Throughout, she provides detailed descriptions of paintings, furniture, silverware, food, equipages, and the dress of the nobility

A scroll floats towards him from the upper left corner of the design inscribed: 'Thou hast done those things thou ought not to have done And hast left undone those things thou oughfi [sic] to have done.'"--British Museum online catalogue
