Abstract:
"Gamblers seated and standing round an E.O. table. The table is octagon-shaped, the circular roulette mechanism being sunk in its centre, surrounded with the letters E.O. for even and odd. In the foreground (right), in profile to the left, a man leans back in his chair asleep, an empty purse on the table beside him; he resembles Captain Topham. The others are probably also portraits, but are more caricatured; they watch the table with gestures and expressions of anxiety and despair. There are fourteen figures."--British Museum online catalogue, description of lettered state

The officer facing them (left), holding a musket without a bayonet against his shoulder, gives the word of command. A stout man and a fat woman stand behind him. In the foreground (right) a drummer boy, sitting on the ground, one arm resting on his drum, puts a plumed busby on the head of a dog. Two rough-looking men wearing ribbon favours in their hats, probably intended for Gordon Rioters, point jeeringly at the three soldiers. In the background are trees."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A procession (from left to right) of Queen Elizabeth and her maids of honour on horseback, the ladies all seated sideways, behind the rider of the horse, the cavalier always in profile, the lady in full face, except for one lady who is in back view. Two soldiers on foot carrying muskets, march in front, a mounted soldier rides behind. The dresses are pseudo-Elizabethan. The ladies wear ruffs and stiff wide-patterned petticoats, with scarves or hoods over their caps. One lady holds her hood. The procession consists of the Queen and three of her ladies. Beneath the design is inscribed: "Think of the great Days when void of all fears Of Wind & Rain sweet Queen Bess appears She taught her Maids of Honour their Caps to defend With oil skin hoods - when her Breakfast they attend. Behind her good Chancellor seated; And are with Beef Steaks & Onions all treated."--British Museum online catalogue
