"A scene on a curving road leading to a bridge over a stream in flood; a post is inscribed 'To Ring's End'. A man in back view is clumsily seated on a rough-looking horse which has just lost a shoe, carrying on his head a trunk labelled 'Sr Dennis Doyl with Speed'; he kicks his apparently stationary mount. In the stream is a thatched hovel (left) with the sign: 'Good dry lodgings'; a man walks from it through the water carrying a child and a young pig. His wife stands on the bank wringing out her petticoat, while a large pig struggles to land. A cow looks from the window, two cats are on the roof. A board on the bridge is inscribed 'Dangerous when you See the 2 Small Posts in the Water become Invisable - if you cant Read Inquire at Davy Drench's whole tell you all about it.' A sailing-boat has collided with the bridge, and large stones fall on the heads of its two occupants. On the right is a large tree; a man sits astride a branch which he chops off, while a man who holds a rope attached to it is looking quizzically over his shoulder at the rider carrying the trunk. Man and branch are about to fall on a barrow laden with crockery. On the tree-trunk is a board on which timber-workers are depicted with the inscription: 'My honest Frinnds as you pass by Were hard at work and very dry.' In the foreground (right) a man amusedly points out the pending accident to a woman holding a child who stands beside him. At their feet sits a child eating out of the same dish as a lean pig. Cf. BMSat 8747."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a ramshackle attic, with a curtained bed on the right. A family sit at a table covered with a tattered cloth, on which are part of a loaf and four small potatoes. The ragged, lean, and elderly man (left) faces his still more haggard wife. A small boy stands by his mother, a youth and little girl sit opposite. All scowl with dismay at the meagre fare. A starving cat miaows. The man recites: "O! thou that blest the loaves and fishes, Look down upon these two poor dishes, And though the 'tatoes are but small, Oh make them large enough for all. For if they should our bellies fill 'Twill be a kind of Miricle!!!""--British Museum online catalogue

"The Mary Elizabeth (Nugent) Marchioness of Buckingham (died 1813) looks from a curtained bed towards her infant which is being shown by an old soldier to her husband, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who enters from the right, wearing a ribbon and sword. The soldier has a wooden leg and a patch over one eye; he says, "Deel my saul but he'll be a brave soldier your honor, he's got a noble Truncheon". Buckingham answers, "Thanks! thanks! my brave Serjeant, you shall be Knighted this day". Behind him, and on the extreme right, stand another old soldier with two wooden legs supported on crutches, and a man in a university gown and bands, carrying a jug inscribed 'Dublin University Pitcher'. The soldier says, "Downright robbery, by St Patrick! we'll be soon famished if our broth is to be stole from us in this manner". He looks towards a man in a Chancellor's wig and gown, seated on the extreme left and holding a bowl, who says to a nurse who stands over him : "Poo! Poo! good woman this is not caudle! this is the old Soldiers porridge!"--British Museum online catalogue
