- Abstract:
- "The Duke of Richmond (left) sleeps in an arm-chair beside a table on which are playing-cards and bits of broken tobacco-pipes arranged to represent fortifications. On the right are two cannons, one on a gun-carriage ; a cat sits on its muzzle miaowing at Richmond, one paw on the table. By his side (left) are plans on rollers and a box of long tobacco-pipes. On the wall hang two pictures on rollers as if they were plans. In one (left) soldiers with wheelbarrows, &c. work on the sea-shore, off which dismantled ships lie at anchor. In the other, cannons and cannon-balls with one sentry lie along the sea-shore, off which are ships at anchor with brooms at their mast-heads to show that they are for sale. Richmond's hat, overcoat, and sword hang on the wall between the two pictures. At his feet is an open book inscribed 'Trial of Colol Debbeig'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Scene in a neat parlour or music room, with open square piano and lyre-back chairs. A middle-aged termagant, coquettishly dressed, has overturned her chair and stands with raised fist, shrieking at a very young man in riding-dress. He sits (left) with hat and riding-switch beside him, bewildered and passive; his dog takes cover under his chair, looking sideways at an aggressive cat which arches its back against its mistress. A cockatoo screams from its perch. On the piano, which is inscribed Row Maker, is an open music-book: Blow High. Blow Low; on the floor is a book open at Wake to Ecstacy the living Lyre. Behind the woman's head is a convex wall-mirror, topped by a carved eagle which looks fiercely down. This is flanked by two sea-scapes: Calm (left), ships becalmed, and Storm (right), a ship struck by lightning and about to be submerged in towering waves."--British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A companion print to BMSat 9670. In a squalid room French dancers practise to a fiddle played by an older man (right) who dances as he plays. The parents of the four children dance, facing each other. She is elegant, buxom, with an elaborate feathered coiffure. He is lean, wearing a tattered but well-fitting coat over bare legs, with sleeve-ruffles (cf. the old gibe that the Frenchman wore ruffles but no shirt). He wears a toupee wig with a long queue. A boy and girl, both with hair elaborately dressed, dance together more vigorously. A little girl (right) with bare legs practises the first position, heels together. On the left a boy plays the pipe and tabor to two dogs, one wearing cloak and hat, whom he is teaching to dance. His chair is the only furniture except for a truckle-bed (left) turned up to the wall and a much-tilted wall-mirror (right). A lean cat has climbed to a small cupboard recessed in the wall near the ceiling and licks a stoppered bottle. The cupboard contains a coffee-pot, a covered jar, &c. A print of two clumsy peasant dancers is pinned to the wall, from which plaster has flaked. All practise with serious concentration."--British Museum online catalogue
