Abstract:
"Orator Henley preaching in his chapel in Newport Market which crowded with listeners, male and female intermingled, some standing, some seated in pews, and others in a gallery; in the foreground stands a drover with his dog. Henley to the left wearing a wig standing in a pulpit hung with a cloth bearing three fleurs-de-lis, with a devil hovering above him holding a noose and a Jesuit cap. At the foot of the steps to the gallery an additional figure has been added in graphite; this appears as "Jack Ketch", the public hangman, in the finished print. The whole composition is placed within a scrolled and foliated border including rosary beads hanging on either side."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The scene is The Strand at a busy time of the day when it is filled with ladies, gentlemen, workmen, and soldiers. In the center of the image, a lady's hoop has caught in a hook above a street level shop window. The angry shopkeeper remonstrates her as the other ladies and gentlemen titter, women lean out of windows, and everyone laughs at her plight. She stands with one leg supported on the shoulder of a chimney sweep who is lying on the pavement. Behind her, on the right is a large crowd of tradesmen, all amused by her mishap. Behind the crowd are several carriages, in front of a church identified as 'New church in the Strand,' (i.e., St. Mary's le Strand, rebuilt in 1723-4).
