"Bowes, apparently very ill, is helped into court by two men who hold him by the arms. On the right., above the level of the court, the two judges, Ashurst (left) and Buller (right), look down at him. Beneath them stands the Clerk of Arraigns, in legal wig and gown, reading from a large document inscribed 'Articles of Charges'. The men holding Bowes wear riding-boots and long coats and hold cudgels; they appear to be two of the Bow Street Officers, McManus and others, who pursued Bowes with a writ and brought him back to London. Behind and on the right of Bowes is a crowd of spectators. The most prominent is a lady with her hands in a muff, her breasts immodestly exposed, with a maid or attendant who holds her arm, evidently Lady Strathmore and her maid Morgan."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"A sketch of fish-wives with their baskets ranged on the pavement (left); behind are the masts and sails of vessels in Billingsgate dock. Facing them is an irate customer with a gouty leg, a fish-wife (right) fastens a flat fish to his wig, while a small urchin tugs at his coat-tails. He clenches his fist and waves his stick, shouting with indignation. Of the women opposite, one holds out a fish towards him, shouting, another laughs with hands on hips, a third lies on the ground drunkenly vomiting, the contents of her basket spilling. Behind stands a woman drinking from a bottle. All are gross and fat, their breasts bare."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The pit of a theatre: Boswell stands in the centre of the front row behind a row of spikes, emitting a blast from his mouth, putting his hands on his cheeks. The man next him (right) protects his face with his hat; two men on the left are amused, one claps. Behind him are several rows of laughing heads. Two musicians in the foreground turn their heads."--British Museum online catalogue.

"In a squalid room Johnson and Boswell lie in two short truckle beds. Boswell (right) is in the foreground, his face contorted with horror, his hands before his mouth as if to stifle a scream, his bare feet drawn up, but projecting over the end of his bed. A gigantic spider descends towards his head, insects are spotted over the bedclothes and pillow, from which projects Ogden (see BMSat 7031). Johnson lies on his back (left) under a casement window, his eyes closed, his hands clasped as if in prayer, his knees drawn up to accommodate the shortness of the bed. A woman's dress hangs as an improvised curtain between the two beds. Under Johnson's bed two rats gnaw Boswell's wig."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Three men on the deck of a small sailing-vessel. Boswell, his knees flexed, stands in profile to the left holding the end of a rope and looking at Col, in Highland dress, who holds up his finger admonishingly. His Scots cap flies from his head, his coat-tails blow in the wind, his ink-pot dangles from his neck, his 'Journal' is under his left arm.

"The interior of a library, the walls lined with heavy folio volumes. Johnson attacks Lord Auchinleck (left) with three books inscribed 'Liturgy', held between his upraised hands which conceal his face. Auchinleck shrinks back in alarm; he has dropped two volumes, 'Calvin' and 'Whiggism', to the floor. Medals lie on the ground. Boswell (right) stands in the doorway behind Johnson, biting his thumbs and gazing upwards in consternation; his 'Journal' falls to the ground. He wears his Scots cap, and his ink-pot dangles from his buttonhole. Auchinleck is an elderly man wearing a judge's wig and bands."--British Museum online catalogue.
