"Between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York trips the tiny Duchess of York, holding a hand of each, her arms raised in order to do so. Behind the three stands a colossal man in Highland dress wearing a plaid, sporran (with the Prince of Wales feathers as a crest), and feathered cap. The Prince (left), who is in civilian dress, wearing a round high-crowned hat, says, "My Dear little Sister when you are tired Big Sam shall carry you!" The Duke, handsome in regimentals, turns to her, saying, "come my Love you shall see Papa driving the Pigs & Mama Milking the Cows". He points (right) to a distant scene, where the King in hunting dress chases two galloping pigs with a whip, saying, "Pig wont go", and the Queen is milking a cow."--British Museum online catalogue

"A boxing encounter; the combatants, wearing waistcoats and gloves, stand facing each other with clenched fists. One (left) says:"I'll Box the Minister about if I get in & tip him Seven the Main". The other (right) says: "Now Mr Alderman I vil Show you vone Jews Blow". Each has a second; on the extreme left a backer sits on a cask inscribed 'Combe's Entire [scored through] Small hopes'; he holds a paper inscribed 'Aldn Combes for ever' and says: "He'll Make a better Boxer than a Parliament Man".
