"Grinning yokels, burlesqued, wheel (right to left) three wheelbarrows; one (right) contains a very fat parson with a gouty leg and grog-blossom nose, who lies on his back, registering impotent rage. Next is a very thin apothecary, holding his gold-headed cane; between his legs is a pestle and mortar containing medicine-bottles, one labelled 'To be well shaken'. On the left is an angry lawyer, holding a bag from which a paper projects. Villagers stand round watching the procession, cheering delightedly. Behind, from among trees, appear a hay-stack, an antique farm or cottage, and a church tower with a large Union flag at its flag-staff."--British Museum online catalogue

An album of amateur drawings, with scenes in Kent, East Sussex, Hertfordshire and Surrey. The artist, only identified with the initials 'S.G.L.', provides titles and dates for the majority of the drawings. The first group (thirteen in all) dated 1828 are views in Kent, Sussex, and Hertfordshire, including Leeds Castle, Hythe, Sandgate, Rye, Pevensey Castle, Tunbridge Wells, St. Albans, and Hatfield. The second, larger group of drawings are scenes in and round the village of Bletchingley (sometimes Bletchingly) in Surrey, depicting village life -- for example, the 'Church Yard', 'Parsonage', 'Farm Yard', landscapes with farm houses, country lanes, bridges, and people fishing, andc. -- and include both people and animals. Other views of places in the vicinity are scenes in Nutfield, London Road, Bletchingley from London Road, Rabbit Heath, et cetera All the drawings in or around Bletchingley (thirty-nine in total) are dated between August 14th and October 14th 1829. Several of the drawings are on blue paper and are highlighted with white chalk, conveying a nocturnal quality to the scene. A final group of ten undated, untitled drawings also depict rural scenes, presumably in southeastern England
