"Lady Charlotte Gordon and Col. Lennox leap over a broom which lies on the floor; she holds him by the left wrist and points towards a nuptial bed decorated with a coat of arms (that of the Duke of Gordon, freely sketched) and ducal coronet. The Duchess of Gordon (right) sits in profile to the left playing bagpipes and looking at the couple with a satisfied smile. Behind her chair is a bottle, inscribed 'Scotch Pint', and a wine-glass. Lennox wears regimentals and a hat, his right arm is held up as if dancing a Scots reel; a pair of pistols (an allusion to his duel with the Duke of York, see BMSat 7531, &c.) protrudes from his pocket. Lady Charlotte wears a large feathered hat. It is clear from her attitude and the expression of the Duchess that the bridegroom, though willing, has not taken the initiative."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two timorous duellists face each other at close quarters in a saw-pit, trembling and dropping their weapons, namely pistol and blunderbuss; each has a heap of weapons at his feet: sabres, rapier, pistol, more blunderbusses. The hair of both rises on their heads. One (left) is in uniform, the other (right), who is smaller, wears fashionable civilian dress with tasselled Hessian boots. A scroll extends above their heads inscribed: 'Did you mean to Offend me? indeed Sir not I.--indeed Sir I'm very glad on't!!!' A spectator (right) looks over the edge of the pit, holding a bowl from which he blows soap bubbles, which float over the head of the civilian. The bubble in the pipe is inscribed 'Puff', suggesting a publicity campaign."--British Museum online catalogue

"A flying demon holds the level beam of a pair of scales, on which stand Wilkes (left) and Parson Horne (right). Each stands in the attitude of a fencer, thrusting at the other with an outstretched goose-quill; neither has the advantage. Wilkes wears a bag-wig, Horne is in parson's gown and bands. The demon says: "nicely pois'd indeed". The print illustrates "The Balance of Honour and Patriotism; or a Dialogue between Mr. H------and Mr. ------, in which the Demon of Discord very properly interferes". The dialogue ends with Horne's expressing a wish "that you, good Mr. Devil, had been conducting me to H------ll, before Malagrida [Shelburne] had persuaded me to engage in this d------n'd controversy"."--British Museum online catalogue
