"A roughly made jaunting-car on the sands of Dublin Bay proceeds towards the Pigeon House (right) at the end of the jetty (the South Bull). A young and an old woman sit back to back with an elderly man and a young one. The young people turn their heads to kiss, unobserved by their elders : the woman absorbed in snuff-taking, the man looking through a telescope. The head and shoulders of the driver, in back view, form the apex of the design; his hair projects through his battered hat."--British Museum online catalogue

Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) and the Prince of Wales (right), their arms round each other's shoulders, leap over a broom-stick (see BMSat 6929), inscribed 'Pro Salute Animæ', held out by Weltje who kneels (right) in profile. With his right arm he pushes the Prince forward. George Hanger (left) kneels facing him, he is helping Mrs. Fitzherbert to leap the broom-stick. She is also pushed forward by Weltje, who stands behind Hanger. The Prince is stout with a double chin, unusual in prints of this date. On the wall are two half length portraits, their heads turned away from the group with the broom-stick: Mrs. Robinson (Perdita) in profile to the left, a free copy of Reynolds's portrait now in the Wallace Collection, and (?) the Duchess of Devonshire (right) in a large feathered hat, perhaps deriving from Gainsborough's famous whole length portrait. Both frames are decorated with the ostrich plumes of the Prince of Wales--British Museum online catalogue

"Two designs on one plate. Above, the Duke of York sits, pen in hand, writing a love-letter, but turns from his table to declaim towards the window (right): To morrow I inspect my regiment--and then for my Dearest--Dearest--Dearest--Love. A negro servant (left) wearing a jewelled turban regards him with dismay: Bless my Massa what be de matter with him--him in love I fear--Sambo once be in love with bad Woman but him repent.

He says: Can I believe my eyes, why this is the little foot boy--who waited on us at the house of a Lady of a certain description.

"Design in an oval. Two men playing cards at a small round table. The man on the right pulls out an ace of spades from the five cards in his hand and shows it with a grimace of satisfaction. His opponent (left), in profile to the right, looks at it with an expression of consternation, frowning and opening his mouth wide. The pack and other cards lie on the table. The men are probably portraits. The successful player is middle-aged, plainly dressed, with a bob-wig; the other is younger, very thin, and more fashionably dressed, with a long pigtail queue."--British Museum online catalogue
