A scene set in Egypt, in which a statue of a woman stands upon a monument with a phrase written in Greek. This is flanked by a sphinx on either side. In the background, beneath a partly cloudy sky, is a pyramid and various other statues and structures.
"Five horses with human heads, ridden by jockeys, race for the half-open door of the Treasury (left), across a wide cobbled pavement. The Regent and Lady Hertford with Lord Hertford standing behind holding his Lord Chamberlain's wand, stand on the pavement (left) watching the finish. The winning horse, Liverpool, is a piebald, with an earl's coronet round his neck, and branded 'H'. Next is Wellesley, a marquis's coronet round his neck, ridden by a jockey in oriental dress with a jewelled turban, who looks over his shoulder, saying: "Come Grey push on you'll let Pye Ball win else." Next is Moira, a blue ribbon round his neck representing the Garter granted on 12 June (which he had refused on 28 Feb., see 'Corr. of George IV', i. 29, 34-5), close behind is Grey; last is Grenville. Lady Hertford, as umpire, exclaims: "Bravo Pye Ball you have fairly won." Lord Hertford cries: "Huzza Pye Ball for ever." The Regent turns to a stout John Bull, to say: "Come Johny out with your Cash your favorite has lost you see." John puts out a protesting hand, saying, "No No D--e if I do! I'm off, why its a proper cross and Jostle I d'ont like the Umpire neither." John wears a top-hat and top-boots, his pockets bulge with money-bags, and he holds a cudgel. In the roadway is a cob or pony with the face of Sheridan, branded 'P R', ridden by the stout Yarmouth, from whose pocket projects a paper: 'The Milling Hero a Poem', see No. 11746, &c.; he is too large for his mount, and says: "Softly! Softly! poor Old Sherry, Oh my poor bones are in danger!" The animal kicks, saying: "It's a d--d dirty Job to carry such a -- but as I carried your Master [the Regent] through before you hold fast and I'll take you to the end." In the foreground (right) a man stands full-face, shouting; he holds a tall pole on which is a placard: 'The Treasury Sweepstakes for high-bred Hunters 4 Heats The M-ch-ss of H--s Pyebald Colt Liverpool ------- 1, dr, dr, 1 Iohn Bulls favorite ch. f.

Beside this notice are betting men. Three say: "How pye Ball dashes in, he has jockey'd them there he goes!"; "Da--me Johny seems in a Passion"; "Aye he 's [word scored through] Humbugg'd! The other spectators: Why the knowing ones are taken in"; "dish'd by Jupiter" [the Prince], and, "I rather think they are dish'd by Juno, she seems to be umpire." In the background are other spectators, on foot, on horseback, and in a coach."--British Museum online catalogue

"View from a hull about 1/2 mile south of [?] Bapt. Mission Compound: looking over the compound at Swatow [Shantou] in the background. Large buildings at left is Theological Seminary." This panorama view shows the buildings mentioned in the caption as well as a body of water behind them. It appears to be a bay and there are ships in the harbor.
"March 1921. View of our house from [Bahers]. White part at corner is guest room bathroom. On right is guestroom. On left is big living room. Little black squares at top of big pillars are iron plates to hold the big irons that hold the house together since the earthquake. Verandah 19 feet wide." This Missionary home appears to be set apart from any other buildings. There is a concrete wall in front of the house and a few trees around it.
"Our house at Thaiyong. 1922. Our end does not show very much." This missionary house is one story tall with a very large foundation to protect from floods.
