Abstract:
"A scene on the deck of a man-of-war at the base of a large mast. Two sailors and a naval officer are astonished at the appearance of a burly sailor (right), on his knees at the foot of the mast, one hand on the deck, the other grasping his hip. The two sailors (left) say: "Shiver my top-sails what a tumble! and yet he dont seem much hurt," and "He must have come direct from the top-gallant mast head." The officer asks solicitously: "My good fellow - where the devil did you come from?" The sailor answers: "Please your Honor - I came from the North of Ireland." All three sailors wear short blue jackets, with black ties knotted stock-fashion; two have striped trousers, the third has a fur cap and a petticoat. The officer wears cocked hat and uniform coat and sword with white trousers. All four wear buckled shoes."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Three figures on the after-deck: a naval officer pointing with a telescope to the left, looks round at a rough-looking elderly sailor who holds the helm, to say: "Now en't you a pretty fellow for a Pilot? to see Land and not know where we are!" The man answers: "Och my dear Jewel! only shew me the Old head of Kinsale, and I'll tell you where we are to an Inch!" A capable-looking sailor (left), hauling at a rope to reef a sail, looks towards the pilot with angry contempt. Sails, rigging, the lower part of a mast, and tossing waves complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A stout man in riding-dress, followed by a groom (r.) carrying luggage, enters a hall and is greeted by a lady with gestures of amazement. She wears loose draperies and loose tresses of hair.

"Plate 1: One of a set, BMSats 10324-9, all with the same imprint. ['Corner of Sackville St' omitted in BMSats 10326, 10327, 10329.] A fat virago leans across the table, seizing the neck-cloth of her still fatter husband and shrieking in his face. The 'cit' gapes in apoplectic astonishment, still holding knife and fork on which food is speared; the edge of the table-cloth is tucked down his neck. His wig falls off. On the table is a bird; bread-basket and (broken) pitcher lie on the floor, salad-bowl and large cruet are falling. A dog barks. A terrified footman seizes his mistress's shoulders; his are grasped by a rough-looking maidservant. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
