"An elopement. A fat woman has fallen on her back from a ladder, knocking down her lover, who lies on his back beneath her. He wears military uniform. Both scream angrily, and a dog (left) barks at her. The ladder, one rung of which is broken, leans against a first-floor window (left) from which the husband looks out, holding a candle. Behind (right), a laughing postilion holds open the door of a post-chaise. A full moon with grinning features looks down from clouds. A lamp projects from the corner of the house."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two pilgrims meet, one (left) debonair and jaunty, the other in a crouching position, and with an anguished expression. Both wear hats turned up with cockle shells, and necklaces hung with shells, long belted gowns with rosaries. Each holds a staff surmounted by a cross. The verses, by 'Peter Pindar' (Wolcot) (abridged), relate the pilgrimage of 'a brace of Sinners' to the shrine at 'Loretta', fifty miles, with peas in their shoes, by order of their priest. The returning pilgrim explains his rapid progress:'"To walk a little more at ease,"I took the liberty to boil my peas'."--British Museum online catalogue.
