The man to his right replies, "You mak'a nice ting for Massa Poodle to suck!" The white man to his right says "Oh the Negro, is that the way they make the high flavored cigars, I'll never suck another."

A black man in the far right rolling the tobacco into cigars, foreground, answers, "Sok'a well sok'a well. Massa Buckra like plenty flavour." A monkey looks down from the rafters

"McAdam, in Highland dress, stands astride, each foot resting on a post, a large bag of Sovereigns under each arm. Below his legs are two ragged stone-breakers plying their hammers on heaps of stone for road-making. From the left post projects to the left a finger-post: Great West Road; from the other, a similar finger-post: Great North Road. On the former road pedestrians are plunging deep in mud, on the latter they are smothered in dust. In the background, framed by the legs of the Colossus, is a windmill: Breakstone Mill. On the left a wagoner leads his cart through a slough."--British Museum online catalogue
