- Abstract:
- "An Irishman seated on a bull which is galloping across open country towards London, seen in the distance on the right., St. Paul's being visible. He wears a short jacket and ragged knee-breeches, his legs and feet are bare. His hair is dishevelled and he is urging on the bull with his hat, which is raised in his right hand. He sits facing the animal's tail, which he holds in his left hand. From his saddle-bag appear books: "St Pat . ." and "New System of Fortune Hunting"; a paper hangs out of it inscribed with a list of ladies with fortunes, beginning "Lady Mary Rotten Rump St James Square 30,000£". A sack inscribed "Potatoes" is tied to the bull in front of the saddle. A milestone shows that it is "IIII Miles from [London]".--British Museum online catalogue

- "Scene in a ramshackle attic, with a curtained bed on the right. A family sit at a table covered with a tattered cloth, on which are part of a loaf and four small potatoes. The ragged, lean, and elderly man (left) faces his still more haggard wife. A small boy stands by his mother, a youth and little girl sit opposite. All scowl with dismay at the meagre fare. A starving cat miaows. The man recites: "O! thou that blest the loaves and fishes, Look down upon these two poor dishes, And though the 'tatoes are but small, Oh make them large enough for all. For if they should our bellies fill 'Twill be a kind of Miricle!!!""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An Irish bricklayer's labourer has reached the top of a ladder and steps off onto the coping of a London house. In his hod he carries a fellow-countryman who waves his hat and flourishes his tobacco-pipe, looking down at his bearer. The roof is being re-tiled and is flanked by chimney-stacks. A little climbing-boy stands in a chimney-pot (right), waving his brush and shovel. Two amused faces look up from an attic window (left). The words of the two Irishmen are below the title: 'By the Powers --Here you are at the top o' the ladder & sure enough, --I've won the Pot o' Beer, that's Pat! You've won it sure enough Teddy But I was in hopes at one time Youd a let me Fall!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
