Two fashionably dressed women with large feathers in their hats. One lady carries a parasol; the other's arm is held by an equally fashionable gentleman. A dog jumps excitedly at their feet. They stand in the lane in a park (presumably St. James's) before a bench; an allée in the background on the right

"The Duke of Clarence drags his three children (left to right) in a go-cart. His waistcoat is open, a handkerchief under his hat drapes his head, perspiration pours from his forehead. The boy, an infant replica of his father, holds a pair of reins which are attached to the duke's pocket, and flourishes a whip. Beside him are a little girl hugging a dog, which hides her face except for the eyes, and a crying infant whose features, though infantine, are those of her father. The crest on the cart is a chamber-pot (cf. BMSat 7835, &c.) surmounted by a crown. From the duke's pockets project a toy battleship, a coral and bells, a toy windmill, and a doll. Mrs. Jordan, in a dress of masculine cut, walks beside the cart, intent on the part which she is studying from an open book ('The Spoil'd Child', see BMSat 7835): 'Act IIId enter Little Pickle'. A signpost (right) points (left) 'From Richmond', (right) 'To Bushy'. A sandy bank with trees forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"A family party walking past the entrance to Bagnigge Wells: A fat citizen, his wig awry and dripping with perspiration, carries a little girl who holds a whip. His stout wife walks behind (right) holding a fan in one hand, a tasselled cane in the other, she smiles complacently. In front, a small boy drags a small four-wheeled chair in which sits a doll-like child holding a doll. The background is the corner of a brick house (right) showing part of a bow-window inscribed "Dealer in Coffee", and a gate inscribed "Bagnigge Wells" with an ogive-shaped decoration surmounting the architrave. Behind are trees. The design evidently derives from Hogarth's "Evening".-- British Museum online catalogue

Five poverty-stricken Scotsmen are depicted walking to attend Parliament, four having crossed the Tweed river, the one on the furthest left about to cross. He is labelled "famine", the next two in the center are dancing a reel, and further to the right another (possibly Dundas) carries his breeches on a pole. The figure on the far right is leaning on two sticks. He is possibly Lord Adam Gordon
