- Abstract:
- "A composite figure with two heads, one that of Lord Howe, the other that of George III, stands between two groups of naval officers; both heads are in profile. The King turns to the right, taking a petition from a kneeling officer with a wooden leg and saying "I never interfere with your first Lord no never". Five officers standing behind this petitioner say (left to right): "I see I shall lose my Rank after all my long Services"; "I am set aside altho' I've lost a Son & one Eye"; "Humbugd by Jove by [the] old Jesuit"; "Had I my Arm again Fd find a better Country"; "Brothers, Our Lords & Commons will not suffer this Game". The last speaker has one leg and stands with a crutch. Howe, scowling with downcast head, says, "Go, go, I can do nothing. It is his Majesty's pleasure, that------" An officer steps forward holding out a petition, he says, "Rascall". Four others standing behind the petitioner say (left to right): "He's fond of Manoeuvres if ever so bad, you know him"; "The King's pleasure! That's a Falsity added to a mean Finesse"; "Our Navy has now two Heads & no Helm, rare Work"; "Vultus est Index Animi".--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Two vicars sit at a table in a sitting room; a painting on the wall behind them is labelled "View of the vicarage". One of the men is very fat and wears a night cap; he dozes in an arm chair, his foot on a sleeping dog at his feet, the "Oxford Journal" on the floor having apparently dropped from his hand. The other, a thinner man, pours two generous glasses of port from a full carafe, and observes to his companion "What is life without the enjoyment of a friend".

- Abstract:
- "Mounted yokels, riding right to left, make havoc in a farm-yard. One only wears uniform; he shouts at them from the right, with upraised hand. A man riding a horse with blinkers fires a blunderbuss, shutting his eyes; he damages a pigeon-house and kills pigeons. He is riding up to a well in which a terrified man has sought shelter, clutching the rope and looking over the top. Two other inexpert horsemen use clubs, one a flail, one a pitchfork. A witch-like old woman holding a broom lies on her back; her basket of cocks and hens has been overturned and the birds escape. A bull and a bulldog face each other belligerently. In the background (left) a fierce engagement between farmers, labourers, and horsemen is in progress."--British Museum online catalogue

An embryo 'Great Wheel' is in action on the right, with four cars (or boxes with half doors) slung from cross-beams which pivet on a post, the motion being given by a crank at the hub, worked by a man standing on a little platform. Each car contains one elderly occupant, except one which has broken: a young girl falls through the air, a youth lies on his back below her. Spectators register alarm or amusement. An oyster-woman looks up from her stall (left). A well-dressed thief picks the pocket of a man absorbed in the accident, passing the plunder to a confederate leaning from the window of an inn on the extreme left. This has the sign of the crown, inscribed 'T. Slano'. In a first-floor window a couple are embracing. Adjacent booths belong to 'Polito': Harlequin, Punch, and other figures are performing, watched by a few spectators. In the foreground (right) a fat women sells sticks to men and boys who throw at objects (? gingerbread) poised on spikes. In the background is a rustic horse-race."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

- "A copy by Rowlandson after the 1774 Bunbury print, 'The hopes of the family - an admission at the university', a satire on a socially aspirational family: a youth is being examined by a tutor for admission to Cambridge university; the tutor, in academic robes, is seated at a table pointing at a large volume resting beside a globe; the youth stands counting on his fingers while his eager father, wearing countryman's boots, urges him on; on the left a woman, probably the tutor's housekeeper, holds two further volumes, and on the right an elegant undergraduate stands smiling; on the wall behind are portraits of "Dr Allcock" and a woman, a Roman bust with turned down mouth on the lintel above the door, and a frame with the plan and elevation of a building."
