"Lord Amherst in profile to the right in general's uniform rides a prancing horse, holding up a large sword, dripping with the blood of two geese, one of which lies dead beside him, the other staggers, with its neck slashed. Beneath the design is engraved: "If I had Power, Id kill 20 in an Hour."Behind, red-coats on horses with drawn swords are indicated among clouds of smoke. Behind and on the left a large square house is on fire, flames coming from the windows."--British Museum online catalogue

"A young military officer wearing a gorget stands at the door of a house, his left hand on the knocker, looking up at two courtesans who lean out of a sash-window over the door. He puts a coin into the hat of a disabled sailor who stands behind him, supported on crutches, his forehead bandaged. Behind the sailor are two itinerant musicians: a man carrying a rectangular box, and a woman turning the handle of a mechanical organ which is slung round her neck, her mouth is open as if singing. The door of the house is ornamented with a carved wooden pediment, and bears a plate "Mrs Mitchel". The knocker has a lion's head. Only the corner of the house appears, the street is "Cleveland Row". A brick wall extends from the house to the left, over it appear trees, and a notice-board inscribed "Men Traps are laid here: every Night also ...." On the wall a placard is pasted, "Dr Leaks Pills. . . "."--British Museum online catalogue
