- Abstract:
- "A number of persons take shelter under the enormous hat-brim of a lady who screams, clasping her hands in alarm. An infant chimney-sweep or 'climbing boy' has climbed up her petticoats and sits astride on their lateral projection. A larger chimney-sweep is about to climb up, putting one foot on his sack of soot. A cloaked market-woman, smoking a pipe, stands under the shelter, as does a man in the dress of a naval officer. A sailor, wearing trousers, his arms folded, appears to be dancing a hornpipe under the shelter of the hat. In the background (right) a lady walks (right to left) holding up a small umbrella which shelters only a minute part of her enormous hat which extends far beyond her projecting breast and petticoats. In the foreground chickens run towards a hen for shelter. A house (left) and a high wall behind which is a tree (right) complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Lord Lonsdale with the head of a wolf sits in his carriage, from which the horses have been taken, and is drawn (left to right) by men past a row of two-storied cottages which are falling to pieces. He wears an earl's coronet, and a military coat with a shirt frill; from his rapacious mouth issue the words 'Dear Gentlemen this is too much, now you really distress me'. A large earl's coronet is on the carriage door. A hind wheel rolls over an open book, 'Peter Pindar'. A stout fierce-looking man wearing a legal wig sits on the box, raising a whip whose lashes are three scrolls inscribed (in legal blackletter), 'Littledale versus Lonsdale', 'Indemnifications', and 'Sham Trials'. He holds a bunch of reins attached to the necks of the men dragging the carriage, on whose faces are fixed, propitiatory grins. From his pockets issue a volume inscribed 'Blackstone', and a paper: 'Bills unpaid'; he is Lonsdale's 'clerk and attorney', see BMSat 8156. Two of the men whom he drives say: "No Ropes equal to mine, at a dead pull and A glorious night for my Brewery". Another man is in rags. In front of the procession and on the extreme right walk two couples holding hands. These carry three banners, inscribed: 'The good Samaritan', 'The Lion The Lamb', and: 'The Blues are bound in Adamantine Chains But Freedom round each Yellow Mansion reigns.' One of the men says slyly to the woman he walks with: 'And makes the Farmers Wives & Daughters Game' This is a quotation from Peter Pindar's 'Commiserating Epistle to Lord Lonsdale', see BMSat 8003. The context is: 'Yet why should Hares, and Partridges, and Grouse, Alone be ravish'd from the Farmer's house ? - Go, Lonsdale, get an Act to raise thy fame, And make . . .' Behind the carriage (left) is a cheering crowd; they wave their hats frantically shouting, "Liberty, Huzza, Huzza." The man in the foreground is a sailor with a bludgeon. Over the door of one of the ruined cottages is a placard: 'To lett convenient lodgings.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A stout and comely lady stands at the door of an ornamentally rustic cottage, shaking a cloth from which tiny officers leap out, holding money-bags. The cloth is inscribed in large letters 'Pin Money instead of Allowance'. She says: "This is a profitable Plan of his and pays me a Devilish deal better than he can, besides the Patronage!!" Five elderly officers of normal size (right) watch their pigmy rivals with consternation. One looks through his glass, saying, "To waste ones health in unwholesome Climates an then fail of promotion because we cannot fee ****** or Army Agents Agents.!!" Another says: "Mother Careys Chickens by - then we shall have a storm indeed!" A third exclaims: "What to spend our lives in the service of our Country, and to be thus degraded by a parcel of Boys!!" He has a wooden leg and a patch over one eye. Another had lost his right arm, and the group seem hardly fit for active service. The 'boys' wear fashionable crescent-shaped cocked hats with plumes, the others old-fashioned hats with cockade, loop, and button. Over the door is inscribed in large letters '... mus Cottage'. It has the ornamental Gothic windows with leaded panes and thatched roof of fashionable rusticity. Beside it is a weeping willow. Below the title: 'NB these Birds have lately been seen hovering about the Horse Guards'. Below the design: 'a Storm Finch, or stormy petterel (the Mother Careys Chickens of the Sailors). Procellaria Pelagica of Linnaeus. is seldom or never seen but in the great Ocean, and then when observed flying near a Ship, is the sure prognostication of a Storm, the analagy [sic] of effect has induced modern Naturalists to class these, with the Pelagica of Linnaeus, tho differing in plumage'."--British Museum online catalogue
