- Description:
- Two newly arrived Frenchmen meet on the pavement outside the door of the White Bear (Piccadilly). Their speech and appearance amuse two girls who have just passed (left), and a stable-boy and coachman (right) and the fact that a dog is urinating on the boot of the tall man on the left who is unaware of this action. They wear supposedly English dress: breeches and boots, top-hats with small high crowns, reversing the shape of the prevailing bell-shaped topper (cf. BM Satires 14438). One (right) wears a multi-caped coat (carrick, see BM Satires 12375) and carries its skirts looped over his arm; against his shoulder he holds a huge (furled) umbrella. Their words are below the title: "Gode a Morning Sare, did it rain tow Marrow?--"Yase it vas"--. Above the door is a carved polar bear. In the window (left) above a green blind appear a tureen, bottle, &c.; placards hang against the panes offering Hashed Tongue, Soup Meagre, Hotch Potch, and Mock [Turtle]. On the right of the door is the entrance to the coach-office: The Original White Bear Inn. Coach & Waggon Office--The Original Paris Coach Office. Advertisements and place-names flank the doorway: (left) Expeditio--French English Made Easy; P[aris] & Dover Dilligence & Jumbling Ease, (right) Deal, Dover, Brighton, Paris, Calis. On the right is the entrance to the inn-yard in which stands a coach. -- From the British Museum online catalogue with additional comments., Title from caption below image., Lines of dialogue below title: "Gode a morning sare, did it rain towmorrow?

- Abstract:
- "The mother sits beside an open work-table, receiving the children whom a black footman ushers in, looking round the door and grinning broadly. The eldest girl has rushed into her mother's arms; a little boy stands beside her, gleefully welcoming a younger girl who is running forward. The eldest boy, on whom his mother's eyes are fixed, advances nonchalantly, blowing a trumpet. A cockatoo screeches on its perch. There are two pictures: Harvest Home and Happy Return, a woman at her cottage door greeting a youth."--British Museum online catalogue
