"A sailor (left), who grins over his shoulder at the spectator, sits on a corded sea-chest pointing at his prize-money which is heaped up on a larger chest in front of him, coins spilling over the top of the chest. He is gaily dressed, wearing a hat with a ribbon favour, long pig-tail, striped trousers; a bunch of seals dangles from his waistcoat; a spotted handkerchief hangs from his jacket pocket. His smoking pipe lies on the ground behind him. In his right hand is a sheaf of papers inscribed 'List of Prizes taken at the [ ?] Huntinna St Eustatia'. Five money-sacks stand on the chest, three being inscribed respectively '£10,000', 'Spanish Dollars', and '£5,000'; a sixth lies open with coins issuing from it. Four wine-bottles, one labelled 'Made[ira]', and a glass also stand on the chest. Through an open sash-window is seen a man-of-war whose sails are being lowered. Pinned to the wall (left) behind the sailor's head is a broadside ballad headed by an oval bust portrait of George III and the words 'God save the King'; below the verses is a crown."--British Museum online catalogue

"The stern of one of the hoys from London to Margate, with passengers suffering from the effects of a fresh breeze. The steersman, leaning against the tiller, holds up a mug of frothing beer. The eight passengers are in various stages of distress and sea-sickness, except for a naval officer with a wooden leg who holds his wife's forehead and pours the contents of a bottle on her head; a sailor boy proffers a bucket to this couple. A man's hat and wig blow overboard, as does a young woman's large hat."--British Museum online catalogue

"Sir William Curtis (left), grossly obese, wearing quasi-nautical dress, dines in the cabin of his yacht. The table is littered with wine-glasses; a dish contains a bare bone. Behind his chair is a pile of empty bottles. His broken pipe lies on the ground. He has a carbuncled nose, wears a small straw hat and striped trousers, with blue coat. He says to a servant who takes a bottle of wine from a large hamper: "John, I vonder if there ever vas since the Creation an Alderman possessed of so much courage as me (Zounds! what noise is that? Oh it's only the Vind,) to come to go into real earnest Danger, & all for one's pleasure! which is more than any other Officer in the whole of this here Fleet or Army can say, now there's your Seizures [Caesars], I thinks there were ten or a Dozen on 'em, then there's your Pitolomies & Cannibles & Poly-buss's & Eckserkses [Xerxes's] and all the rest of the bunch of Roman Generals -you never reads of any Alderman going out in any of their Exhibitions! no more Lord Mayors neither! & thats a bold word to say, now John we must 'bout Ship Speedy & soon ...for we dont know but one of Bonyparts D-d Bullets may get in to one of us then that would be a Bullet in [Bulletin] that ve dont Vant but how do we stand for Bubb & Grubb & Grape Shot?" The servant, a rough-looking fellow wearing a night-cap and apron, answers: "Why your Honor the Brown Stout is all gone, there is nothing left but the wing of a Turkey & Ham bone & a Bottle of Red --herefore as how we must steer speedily & soon for Port. Behind Curtis's head hangs a picture of the façade of a two-storied house: 'A view of Jacobs well'. On the right is a window through which are seen the sea and ships."--British Museum online catalogue
