- Abstract:
- "Tom Cribb stands in the foreground, full-face, in a sparring attitude, but holding a bottle whose cork he has just drawn. In the bottle is a negro's face; the contents explode violently, with inscriptions in the explosion: 'a Jaw breaker--Fibbing--Fibbing--More Punishment, A Floorerer, --A Nobber A Doubler, --Want of Wind A Left Flush, --A Rally Sparring for Wind.' Behind him is a table round which sit and stand raffish-looking men, drinking, cheering, and smoking. A punch-bowl is on the table, empty bottles on the floor. Captain Barclay stands with one foot on the table raising his glass, to give the toast: "Gentlemen--the Milling Champion at Thisselton Gap." Six others shout: "Bravo, Capn--"; "Bravo Barclay for ever."; Bravo, Milling for ever."; "Bravo,--Bravo,--Scotch Training for ever."; "Crib, and Barclay for ever."; "Bravo Capn--Huzza"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The stage or platform is surrounded by a dense crowd, some three rows of which form the foreground of the design. Cribb, who has cuts on the face, strikes Molineux on the throat and he falls backwards, to the dismay of his second, also a negro, and another supporter. On the right Cribb's second and bottle-holder register satisfaction. The crowd is wildly enthusiastic, and drawn with humorous realism. Some men on horseback are among the spectators immediately surrounding the stage, as are one or two carriages. Two pickpockets, a man and woman, work together in the foreground; two men are fighting. A few women are among the crowd, one astride a man's shoulders (right). The crowd and the stage which it surrounds fills the greater part of the design. There is a pleasant landscape background. On a road is a long line of tiny carriages and men on horseback, with one farm-wagon."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
