Abstract:
"A close-up view of one of the 'pigeon holes' which flanked the upper gallery at Covent Garden. Heads closely packed together are framed in the lunette opening, six or seven rows receding one above the other in the centre. Most seem suffering from heat or discomfort, and except for one or two pretty young women are grotesquely caricatured. The centre figure in the front row, leaning on the parapet and apparently asleep, is a fat coachman in livery. An old man leans over, bleeding copiously at the nose. In the spaces left by the curve of the lunette in the upper corners of the design are groups symbolizing Comedy (left) and Tragedy (right): comic mask, pan-pipes, &c."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A bedroom scene. A lean and elderly man stands just within the open door (left), holding a lighted candle, and bowing hat in hand to one of the occupants of the bed, who sits up, doffing his nightcap with equal ceremony. The woman is defined by the bed-clothes; she lies on her face clutching the pillow. The visitor wears slippers with un gartered stockings and breeches open at the knee; in his pocket is a book 'Chesterfields Letters'. He says: "I am sorry Sir to intrude in this abrupt manner,-- but do you know Sir you are in bed with my Wife?" The other answers: "Sir, I beg you ten thousand pardons! let me request you will be seated, and she shall be at your service in the course of half an hour!" The men gaze at each other, warily intent, hostility predominant in the husband, alarm in his rival."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A plebeian crowd, much caricatured, cheers the majestic ascent of a balloon. On the right is part of an old-fashioned gabled building with a large projecting sign, 'Mermaid': a mermaid emerges from the sea holding up a comb and a wine-bottle. Two men and a woman sit on the beam of the sign, two other men climb up to it. In the foreground a fat woman has fallen over a sow and her litter. A sailor carries astride his shoulders a stout woman, who waves frantically. The roofs of coaches are crowded with cheering spectators. Others wave from distant roofs and from the square tower of Hackney Church. Two tiny aeronauts wave flags from the car of the balloon, which is vertically striped, with cross-bands round its circumference inscribed 'G. P. W', a crown, and 'P R'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A comely florid woman, girding up the skirts of her decolletee dress, has dressed up in the cocked hat, jack-boots, and sword-belt of General Junot, and gaily marches beside his bed, flourishing his sword in a gauntleted hand, while she looks over her shoulder for admiration. Junot (right) sits up in bed looking at her angrily, and clutching his breeches, as if afraid she would don those too: her legs are bare above the spurred boots. A cat miaows at her. The bed is curtained and canopied, but a military saddle, hanging from a peg, and a musket show that the general is campaigning."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A farmer (John Bull) and his family gape in amazement at the arrangements for the Regency fête on 19 June. The narrow table extends across the design receding from left to right, the cloth hanging over the seats of chairs in the foreground. The famous canal decorates the centre of the table with its gold and silver fish, and the table is laid with gold plate, and ornate cut-glass goblets and decanters labelled 'Dry Champain', 'Claret', and 'Burgundy'. There are three-branched gold candelabra. The Prince's chair is on the extreme right; beside it stand a man in livery and an attendant in plain clothes. Behind the chair large ornate gold salvers are arranged on shelves covered with white drapery, as in No. 11729. This was 'a kind of circular buffet . . . lined by festoons and antique draperies of pink and silver' ('Ann. Reg.', 1811, p. 69). The sightseers are on the farther side of the table (left) with their backs to the windows, John in the centre; he says, pointing: "Why Odd Zookers this is marvellous fine indeed. Oh Nan how we should relish a rasher on one of they monstracious beautifull Plates, why now I think I shan't grumble to pay three or four Bank Tokens towards this grand treat - methinks I should Just like a nippikin too." His wife puts out her hands protestingly: "Oh John one of our milk white Chickens roasted by myself by our wood fire would be Luscioscious indeed." His daughter says: "La Feather do zee how they gilded Fishes be stareing at yow." There are three loutish sons; one says: "I say Sue I thinks I should not like that dry Shampain, but a Dobbin of our home brewed in that there gilded gold thing would be dreadfully noice indeed"; another (looking up at the (invisible) ceiling : "Dang it if the top 0 the pleace beant all Eel pottles I'll be hang'd."--British Museum online catalogue
