"An Irishman riding (left to right) on a horse. He is dressed as a military officer, with epaulettes. In his hat is a cross in a medallion. In his right hand, and resting on his shoulder, is a sword on which potatoes are spitted. In his left hand he holds out a wineglass. Two fish are slung on his right arm, under it is a sickle. Various objects are attached to his saddle or his person including a tankard, a small set of bagpipes, a candle-stick, a large fish; a small Irish harp decorates the hindquarters of his horse. The background, seen between the horse's feet, is the sea-shore with ships. A border decorates the two sides of the print, surmounted (left) by a frowning mask, with a dagger through one eye, and (right) by a smiling mask. To a vertical line of conventional fruit and foliage are attached a number of objects, including a horn and goblet, a flute, a flail and rake, a wine-bottle and glass, a sheaf of corn and a sickle. Beneath the design is engraved: "So sweet St Patrick comes, Dear Joy to Day, Smiles on his face with Merriment & Play. With good store of Tattoes, Sweet Buttermilk, & Whisky, Small Pipes, & Usquebaugh to make us Dance Frisky. Then banish all care, and meagre sorrow, We'll Celebrate this Day not trust to morrow. Let's Rant & Roar & make the House Ring, Drink to St Patrick's Day in the Morning.""--British Museum online catalogue

"A family party walking past the entrance to Bagnigge Wells: A fat citizen, his wig awry and dripping with perspiration, carries a little girl who holds a whip. His stout wife walks behind (right) holding a fan in one hand, a tasselled cane in the other, she smiles complacently. In front, a small boy drags a small four-wheeled chair in which sits a doll-like child holding a doll. The background is the corner of a brick house (right) showing part of a bow-window inscribed "Dealer in Coffee", and a gate inscribed "Bagnigge Wells" with an ogive-shaped decoration surmounting the architrave. Behind are trees. The design evidently derives from Hogarth's "Evening".-- British Museum online catalogue
