"Three visitors regard with amusement a soldier who acts as barber. A soldier sits (left) outside a tent, his hair lank and undressed, his chin lathered, a cloth round his neck. The barber stands flourishing a razor; he is in full regimentals, wearing a busby, with intrenching tools (a spade and axe) thrust through his belt. Facing him in profile to the left stands a lady with a man in riding-dress on each side of her; one points, the others raise their hands in amused surprise. A grinning black boy in livery, wearing a turban and carrying a riding-whip, stands behind them. A sentry stands on duty beside the tent with his musket across his shoulder. Another soldier stands on the extreme right, his hands crossed on his breast. A row of tents, backed by trees and the contour of a hill, forms a background. In the middle distance an officer with another soldier appears to be inspecting the camp."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are amond the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling R.C. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

"Fox seated on an ass takes leave of two ladies, one on each side of the ass, holding a hand of each. From under his saddle protrudes his India Bill. On his left stands the Duchess of Devonshire (right) holding out to him a fox's brush. She says: "Farewell my Charley - let no fears assail. For Sure no Fox had e'er so fine a Tail." Fox answers, looking down at her: "If that a Scrutiny at last takes place I can't tell how 'twill be & please your grace But Ladies for your Friendship & good will My Bushy Tail is at your service still." Lady Duncannon, holding Fox's right hand, looks across at the Duchess saying: "Ah! Sister, Sister, must he then depart To loose poor Reynard: almost breaks my heart."

"Lady Archer sits in profile to the right before her dressing-table, applying rouge to her cheek with a brush. Her notoriously painted cheek is blotched with drink. She is dressed for driving, wearing a coat of masculine cut, and a skirt which is short enough to show stockings above laced half-boots.

The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are among the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling Robert Cruikshank. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

"Fox and Burke (half length) seen through the barred window of a brick building in which they are imprisoned. They are Hudibras and his squire as in British Museum Satires No. 6361, but in a prison instead of in the stocks. Above the barred aperture is inscribed 'Bailiffs for Middlesex' showing that it is a sponging-house for debtors (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6483, &c). Outside stands the Duchess of Devonshire looking at them over her right shoulder. She wears a hat with a 'Fox' favour, trimmed with feathers and fox's tails as in the canvassing caricatures, but wears a plain riding-dress of masculine cut [Cf. 'Her Grace sometimes rides about in a black riding habit, which is very convenient in case she should be obliged to enter into contact with a Chimneysweeper'. A newspaper paragraph quoted in 'Westminster Election', p. 246.] instead of the usual voluminous petticoats. Her left hand rests on a tasselled cane. She is Hudibras's Lady who visited the pair in prison and released them; her words are etched beneath the design: 'O heavens! quoth she, can this be true? I do begin to fear 'tis you: Not by your individual whiskers, But by your dialect and discourse. That never spoke to man or beast In notions vulgarly exprest: But what malignant star alas! Has brought you both to this sad pass? Hudibras, canto I mo.' [i.e. Part II, canto 1]. On the brick wall of the prison bills are posted: 'Several Pouting lips to be hired by the day by Deven'; [ One of the advertisements for Hood and Wray ran: 'To be hired for the day, several pair of ruby pouting lips, of the first quality, [etc. etc.].'
