"An opera-dancer, Mme Rose Didelot, is poised on her right toe, her head turned in (sharp-featured) profile to the left, holding up a long garland of roses. She wears a pseudo-classical costume, defining her person, the edge of the skirt bordered with roses, a wreath of roses in her hair which is almost short. The scenery is of trees with a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue

"After the title: 'fully accow [crossed out and replaced with a 'u'] --tred the Hero lay.' Above the design: 'Review--PI 2.' Wellington, sword in hand, falls from his horse, his white trousers crashing into a patch of cow-dung. He wears (in place of his field-marshal's cocked hat) a bearskin so enormous that it may well have overbalanced him. His horse stands beside him, pawing the ground. Behind (right) a group of mounted officers watch the accident. On the left two privates in huge bearskins stand at attention."--British Museum online catalogue
